SystemVerilog HDL

Concept

SystemVerilog HDL appears in the ProcessorFuzz evidence as a hardware description language relevant to RTL processor verification. The cited work highlights a tooling limitation: attempted SystemVerilog-to-FIRRTL conversion had limited support and failed to instrument BlackParrot.

Overview

SystemVerilog HDL is a hardware description language referenced in the ProcessorFuzz paper in the context of Register-Transfer Level (RTL) processor verification. The paper frames hardware fuzzing as a method for verifying RTL designs and notes that prior works can suffer from limited support for widely used hardware description languages.
