It use ALLSAT approach to perform existential quatification. And use increamental SAT to reduce the run time overhead.
But I think the major innovation is to use sorting network to find out the shortest prime clause. This is bettern than my approach in VMCAI05: Minimizing Counterexample with Unit Core Extraction and Incremental SAT, which reduce the size of a block clause by iteratively remove those literal not in the support set of a proof.
