The HLS report provides details about the high-level synthesis (HLS) process of a user kernel and is generated during the compilation process for hardware emulation and system builds. This process translates the C/C++ and OpenCL kernel into the hardware description language used for implementing the kernel logic on the FPGA. The report provides estimated FPGA resource usage, operating frequency, latency, and interface signals of the custom-generated hardware logic. These details provide many insights to guide kernel optimization.

When running from the Vitis IDE, this report can be found in the following directory: _x/<kernel_name>.<target>.<platform>/<kernel_name>/<kernel_name>/solution/syn/report

The HLS report can be opened from the Vitis analyzer by opening the Compile Summary, or the Link Summary as described in Using the Vitis Analyzer. An example of the HLS report is shown.
