Welcome

Welcome to the LightningSim tutorial! LightningSim is an ultra-fast and accurate trace-based simulator for High-Level Synthesis (HLS) designs. We will walk through the process of installing and running LightningSim for several example Vitis HLS projects and comparing their results with C/RTL cosimulation.

This tutorial was originally delivered at the 32nd IEEE International Symposium On Field-Programmable Custom Computing Machines (FCCM) as part of the session “Understanding Your FPGA Design Better: From Rapid Simulation to On-board Profiling.” More information about this session is available on the Sharc Lab website.
