It shares short conflict clauses between parallel solvers and achieves superlinear speedup in some cases, e.g., 4 parallel solvers solve faster than one forth of the single solver soolution time.
Short conflict clauses are rare so there is little communication between solvers required.
Author's goal to have solver that is good in computing range from single CPU up to cluster. Judging from CryptoMiniSAT successes, he has mostly reached the goal.
