What is Technical perspective: Moving spectrum about?

rithm, and in this case the design of a portfolio of different, complementary algorithms that run in parallel, to be made in a principled, data-driven way. The role of an algorithm designer becomes that of designing configurable algorithms as well as using creativity to come up with domain-specific heuristics that could prove useful. In addition, the designer provides a realistic distribution of inputs on which to optimize performance. Having exposed 191 parameters in the design space, each nested as many as four-levels deep, the authors call their approach "deep optimization." There are larger lessons here. First, through outstanding computer science in developing a customized solution to this difficult and important problem, the researchers provided confidence that these large-scale, NP-hard problems could be solved at scale. Second, this success speaks to the importance of sustained research-this is the culmination of a concerted research effort over more than a decade into datadriven algorithm design. This project itself is a tour de force in "big bang" computer science, with an open source simulator, the inclusion of 20 state-ofthe-art SAT solvers, and days of compute time to
