# Performance Comparison: C vs Python TrueRNG Implementation
## Test Results
### Final Corrected Results (After Fixing C Implementation)
### C Version Performance
- **Execution time:** 2.27 seconds
- **Data read:** 1,048,576 bytes (1 MB - full dataset)
- **Read rate:** 462.60 KB/s
- **Total bits processed:** 8,388,608
### Python Version Performance
- **Execution time:** 2.27 seconds
- **Data read:** 1,048,576 bytes (1 MB - full dataset)
- **Read rate:** 462.47 KB/s
- **Total bits processed:** 8,388,608
## Performance Analysis
### Speed Comparison
- **C version completed in:** 2.27 seconds
- **Python version completed in:** 2.27 seconds
- **Speed difference:** **Effectively identical** for this I/O-bound task
### Key Discoveries
1. **I/O Bottleneck**: Both implementations perform identically because the task is **I/O-bound**, not CPU-bound. The serial communication at ~462 KB/s is the limiting factor.
2. **Initial Bug**: The C version initially appeared faster (0.29 seconds) because it was **incorrectly stopping early** due to improper handling of partial reads from the serial device.
3. **Proper Serial Handling**: The fix required implementing a read loop that continues until the full block size is received, matching Python's pyserial behavior.
4. **Identical Functionality**: After correction, both versions process exactly the same amount of data with identical performance characteristics.
### Technical Issues Resolved
1. **Partial Read Handling**: C's `read()` system call can return fewer bytes than requested, requiring a loop to accumulate the full block size.
2. **Serial Port Configuration**: Proper termios settings with `VMIN=1, VTIME=0` for blocking reads.
3. **Error Handling**: Distinguishing between partial reads (continue) vs. actual errors (abort).
### Performance Implications
**For I/O-bound tasks like serial communication:**
- Language choice has **minimal impact** on performance
- Hardware communication speed dominates execution time
- Proper protocol handling is more important than language efficiency
**For CPU-intensive tasks:**
- C would likely show significant performance advantages
- Bit manipulation, mathematical operations, and memory management favor compiled languages
### Lessons Learned
1. **Measure Correctly**: Initial performance differences were due to bugs, not language efficiency
2. **Understand Bottlenecks**: Serial I/O at 462 KB/s dominates any CPU processing overhead
3. **Proper Equivalence**: Both implementations must handle the same data volume for fair comparison
4. **System API Differences**: C requires more explicit handling of partial I/O operations
## Conclusion
For this **I/O-bound TrueRNG application**, both C and Python implementations achieve **identical performance** (2.27 seconds for 1MB). The bottleneck is the serial communication hardware, not the programming language. The C implementation provides equivalent functionality with more explicit control over system resources, while Python offers simpler, more abstract I/O handling through the pyserial library.

# TrueRNG C Implementation
This is a C equivalent of the Python `main.py` script for reading data from TrueRNG devices.
## Overview
The program reads random data from a TrueRNG device via serial port, counts the number of ones and zeros in the data, and saves the raw data to a binary file called `random.bin`.
## Supported Devices
- TrueRNG (PID: 04D8, HID: F5FE)
- TrueRNGpro (PID: 16D0, HID: 0AA0)
- TrueRNGproV2 (PID: 04D8, HID: EBB5)
## Requirements
- Linux system with termios support
- GCC compiler
- TrueRNG device connected via USB
- Appropriate permissions to access the serial device (may need root or proper udev rules)
## Building
```bash
make
```
Or manually:
```bash
gcc -Wall -Wextra -std=c99 -O2 -o truerng main.c
```
## Usage
```bash
./truerng
```
The program will:
1. Automatically detect connected TrueRNG devices
2. Read 1024 blocks of 1024 bytes each (1MB total)
3. Count ones and zeros in real-time
4. Display read rate in KB/s
5. Save raw data to `random.bin`
6. Display final statistics
## Configuration
You can modify the following constants in [`main.c`](main.c:32):
- `BLOCKSIZE`: Number of bytes to read per block (default: 1024)
- `NUMLOOPS`: Number of blocks to read (default: 1024)
## Permissions
On Linux, you may need to set proper permissions for the serial device:
```bash
sudo chmod 666 /dev/ttyUSB0 # Replace with your device
```
Or add your user to the dialout group:
```bash
sudo usermod -a -G dialout $USER
```
## Differences from Python Version
The C implementation:
- Uses native Linux serial port APIs instead of pyserial
- Implements USB device detection via sysfs
- Uses lookup tables for efficient bit counting
- Provides equivalent functionality with better performance
## Output
Sample output:
```
TrueRNG Counting Ones vs Zeros Example
http://ubld.it
==================================================
TrueRNG Found
Using com port: /dev/ttyUSB0

Number of loops: 1024
Total size: 1048576 Bytes
Writing to: random.bin
==================================================
1048576 Bytes Read at 45.23 Kbytes/s

Total Ones : 4194234
Total Zeros: 4194314
Total Bits : 8388608
There are 80 more zeros in the Capture!
