It is an HDL to C object code flow instead of the more traditional interpreted flow (though those if anything are slower to compile). The HDL to C results in models that run significantly faster( order to orders of magnitude). In addition, it leverages all the benefits of a standard C flow over some proprietary interpreter including the robust testing and debug infrastructure and optimizations.
