PipelineC VS CflexHDL

Compare PipelineC vs CflexHDL and see what are their differences.

PipelineC

A C-like hardware description language (HDL) adding high level synthesis(HLS)-like automatic pipelining as a language construct/compiler feature. (by JulianKemmerer)

CflexHDL

Design digital circuits in C. Simulate really fast with a regular compiler. (by suarezvictor)

  • Am I building the fastest logic simulator?

    Have you compared memory usage? Have you tried building the same design you're running at 'hundreds of FPS' on Verilator and seeing how it does there? Do you have a measure of complexity you can use so we can judge how big the design really is? What frequency is the simulator hitting? Do you have support for arbitrary bit widths? From a quick look at https://github.com/suarezvictor/CflexHDL/tree/main/demos/vga it seems all signals in that design are 32 bits or less. When you're outside of your native word width (i.e. likely above 64 bits) performance may be reduced.

    It was done with u/absurdfatalism's PipelineC tool and my CFlexHDL C++ parser tool for handling vector and scalar types in fixed and floating point with a clean syntax.
