Overview

Unified CPU input format with TileLink protocols is a technique described in the DIFUZZRTL paper as part of the implementation of DIFUZZRTL, an RTL fuzzer for automatically discovering unknown bugs in CPU RTL designs.

The paper lists this technique among several methods added to address unique RTL design characteristics. In the abstract, it appears alongside:
