CSR-guided processor fuzzing

Technique

CSR-guided processor fuzzing is a processor fuzzing technique identified in the paper "ProcessorFuzz: Processor Fuzzing with Control and Status Registers Guidance." The available evidence supports that it uses control and status registers (CSRs) as guidance and that the work was published at IEEE HOST 2023.

CSR-guided processor fuzzing is a processor fuzzing technique whose distinguishing characteristic, based on the available evidence, is guidance from control and status registers (CSRs).[1]

Overview

The technique is directly associated with the paper ProcessorFuzz: Processor Fuzzing with Control and Status Registers Guidance.[1] From the title alone, the evidence supports describing this technique as processor fuzzing guided by control and status registers.[1]
