Analysis of RISC-V CPU Fuzzers via Automatic Bug Injection (ETH Zurich)


A new technical paper titled "Encarsia: Evaluating CPU Fuzzers via Automatic Bug Injection" was published by researchers at ETH Zurich. Abstract "Hardware fuzzing has recently gained momentum with many discovered bugs in open-source RISC-V CPU designs. Comparing the effectiveness of different hardware fuzzers, however, remains a challenge: each fuzzer optimizes for a different metric and ... » read more

CPU Fuzzing Via Intricate Program Generation (ETH Zurich)


A technical paper titled “Cascade: CPU Fuzzing via Intricate Program Generation” was published by researchers at ETH Zurich. Abstract: "Generating interesting test cases for CPU fuzzing is akin to generating programs that exercise unusual states inside the CPU. The performance of CPU fuzzing is heavily influenced by the quality of these programs and by the overhead of bug detection. Our a... » read more
