**Ant Colony Optimization (ACO)** is referenced in the provided evidence as the optimization basis for **INSTILLER**, an RTL fuzzing system for CPU hardware bug detection.[^1] In this context, ACO is used through a variant called **VACO** to distill fuzzing inputs so that generated RTL instruction sequences remain shorter and more efficient.[^1]
