Abstract:
In this extended abstract, we summarize our work from [9], where we proposed to leverage state-of-the-art Coverage-guided Fuzzing (CGF) for Instruction Set Simulator (ISS) verification. We found new errors in every considered ISS, including one error in the official RISC-V reference simulator Spike. In addition, we present recent developments going beyond.
