⚡

In-RAM Cranelift JIT

Compiles Verilog & SystemVerilog designs directly into native machine code (x86_64, AArch64) in RAM in milliseconds, bypassing multi-minute C++ and snapshot disk overhead.

🔬

Granular Delta-Cycle Stepping

Caller-controlled manual tick API exposing discrete zero-time δ-cycles (step_delta), uncovering combinational race conditions and glitches hidden by legacy simulators.

🔋

Physics Silicon Telemetry

First-principles dynamic power modeling (0.5 * C * V^2 * f * α) coupled with inductive PDN voltage droop (IR + L di/dt), streaming live synchronized analog telemetry alongside digital traces.

🌐

Cross-Platform Desktop & Web

Lightweight (<50 MB) desktop application built with Tauri v2, React 19, and Vite, compiling natively to WebAssembly for 100% in-browser client-side simulation.

📊

High-Density Canvas Waveforms

Virtualized 60+ FPS digital waveform viewer supporting multi-bit bus transition envelopes, time-cursor inspection, and delta glitch magnifiers.

🔄

100% Vivado Interoperability

Exports IEEE 1364 Value Change Dump (.vcd) waveforms and Synopsys SAIF 2.0 switching activity files directly consumable by Vivado read_saif.
