Hot fuzz: Cascade finds dozens of RISC-V chip bugs using random data storm

October 24, 2023 at 05:48PM Researchers from ETH Zurich have developed Cascade, a novel fuzzer designed to find bugs in RISC-V chips. Unlike other fuzzers, Cascade constructs long random programs that manage the control flow during execution, allowing for more thorough testing of the silicon. It was able to find 37 new bugs in six … Read more
