glucose was placed second (same number of solved benchmarks as precosat) in the category Industrial/SAT+UNSAT.
This is the first time a french team wins the competition in this very competitive track "industrial UNSAT", which allow to efficiently solve a wide range of very hard problems from formal verification, biocomputing, cryptograhics, ...
