Description
Fuzzilli current uses hard-coded weights to select between the various mutators, code generators, and constants. These weights are just approximations, and a more intelligent mutator scheduler could help improve performance, by giving additional weight to those likely to find new coverage, or be successful.
One possible example would be something like MOpt, although it may be overkill at this time.
First thoughts on requirements for a new scheduler:
- Applies more emphasis to mutators/code generators/constant selectors that are more likely to run successfully or produce new coverage
- Have a "weight floor", intermittent re-normalization, etc, such that some no mutator/code generator/constant is ever completely ignored

Research direction
Start by reading the scheduler setup in Sources/FuzzilliCli/main.swift, Sources/FuzzilliCli/CodeGeneratorWeights.swift, and Sources/Fuzzilli/Core/ProgramBuilder.swift, then review the linked MOpt paper. Done means a scheduler gives more weight to successful or coverage-producing choices while retaining a weight floor and periodically re-normalizing all mutators, generators, and constants.
