Dsharp: Fast d-DNNF Compilation with sharpSAT

Knowledge compilation is a compelling technique for dealing with the intractability of propositional reasoning. One particularly effective target language is Deterministic Decomposable Negation Normal Form (d-DNNF). We exploit recent advances in #SAT solving in order to produce a new state-of-the-art CNF → d-DNNF compiler: Dsharp. Empirical results demonstrate that Dsharp is generally an order of magnitude faster than c2d, the de facto standard for compiling to d-DNNF, while yielding a representation of comparable size.
