After analysis, you will most likely need or want to optimize the performance of your function. Even if it is performing well there might be opportunities for improvement. This section discusses the mechanisms for applying optimizations to your project. Refer to Optimizing Techniques and Troubleshooting Tips for a discussion of the various types of optimizations you can perform.

You can add optimization directives directly into the source code as compiler pragmas, using various HLS Pragmas, or you can use configuration commands as described in HLS Optimization Directives to configure and apply optimization directives to an HLS component.

In addition to optimization pragmas and directives, the HLS compiler provides a number of configuration commands to let you manage the default results of simulation and synthesis as described in HLS Config File Commands.
