Get to Know LightningSim

Feature 1: Ultra-fast Cycle-accurate Simulation

Don't know your HLS design performance? Don't want to use super-slow C/RTL co-simulation? LightningSim accelerates your C/RTL co-simulation by two orders, with 99.9% accuracy in simulating cycle counts.

Feature 2: Ultra-fast FIFO Sizing

Don't know best FIFO sizes? LightningSim evaluates possible solutions in parallel, within miliseconds.

Feature 3: Ultra-simple Integration with HLS

Don't want to change your existing HLS designs? LightningSim does not require any changes -- just by pointing to your synthesized HLS design and we are good to go.
