Here's an implementation of a modified version of his delta debugging algorithm we did for minimizing file inputs that induce a failure in a compiler or static analysis tool: http://delta.tigris.org/ http://delta.tigris.org/ Also works for other kinds of files of course. Our version is easily seen as a kind of simulated annealing, with the input providing sufficient randomness that we did not need to add any internally. Fun story: this was my first open source project. I had always wanted to be an open source programmer, but the precipitating cause of me releasing delta was that Microsoft Research asked me to. So back when Microsoft was saying that open source is a "cancer" I became an open source programmer because Microsoft asked me to.
