[en] This note describes a new efficient bit-slice implementation DenseQMC of the Quine-McCluskey algorithm for finding all prime implicants of a Boolean function in the dense case. It is practically feasible for n <= 23 when run on a common laptop or for n <= 27 when run on a server with 1 TiB RAM.
This note also outlines a very common mistake in the implementations of the Quine-McCluskey algorithm, leading to a quadratic slowdown. An optimized corrected implementation of the classic approach is also given (called SparseQMC).
The implementation is freely available at https://github.com/hellman/Quine-McCluskey .
