Interrupt and Exception Simulation

Concept

**Interrupt and exception simulation** is a technique used in CPU hardware testing and RTL fuzzing to model asynchronous or exceptional control-flow events while generating and executing test inputs. In the context of RTL fuzzing, it is used to make generated instruction streams more realistic by inserting interrupts and exceptions into fuzzing inputs rather than testing only uninterrupted instruction sequences.[^27264]
