Great results for MyHDL simulations
I am seeing great improvements for MyHDL simulations by using PyPy, and I have written a page about it: http://www.myhdl.org/doku.php/performance I have asked for feedback from the MyHDL community to confirm these results, before creating some more buzz in the hardware design world :-) Thanks!

Hello Jan, this is really nice to hear :-) Did you try to run the benchmarks with a more recent version of PyPy? According to this chart, we are up to 30% faster than 1.5 on some benchmarks, so you might get even better results: http://speed.pypy.org/comparison/?exe=1%2B301%2C1%2BL&ben=1%2C27%2C2%2C25%2C3%2C4%2C5%2C22%2C6%2C7%2C8%2C23%2C24%2C9%2C10%2C11%2C12%2C13%2C14%2C15%2C16%2C17%2C18%2C19%2C20%2C26&env=1&hor=false&bas=1%2B301&chart=normal+bars ciao, Anto

Getting better all the time :-) With PyPy 1.6, I see additional significant improvements (probably also thanks to the generator-specific speedup). Speedup compared to cPython is now 8-20x (was 6-12x). http://www.myhdl.org/doku.php/performance Thanks to all! -- Jan Decaluwe - Resources bvba - http://www.jandecaluwe.com Python as a HDL: http://www.myhdl.org VHDL development, the modern way: http://www.sigasi.com World-class digital design: http://www.easics.com
