Performance Pragma - 6

Description

WARNING: HLS 214-349] Cannot apply performance pragma target_ti=5 cycles for loop 'VITIS_LOOP_11_1' in function 'top'. The target requires a pipeline II less than the minimal achievable II of 6 determined by the number of conflicting accesses on local memory 'b_buf' (6 per iteration) (test.cpp:12:9).

Explanation

There are too many accesses to the specified local memory and this prevents an II=1 from being achieved. Consider reducing the number of accesses to the memory in one cycle or increasing the number of memory ports or consider partitioning the array to allow more parallel access.
