Frequent ContributorThat doesn't mean it is a specific kernel among your kernels that is causing the difference. The area estimation has inaccuracies associated with it as a whole, and the actual area utilization of every kernel in your design will be always different from the estimation. The area estimation is just supposed to give the user some idea of whether their kernel will fit on their target device or not, and what resources are expected to be used by each part of the design. There is no point in trying to find the reason for the differences between the area estimation and actual post-place-and-route utilization, and the actual area utilization in your case being higher than the estimation does not mean there is something wrong with your design that needs fixing.
Occasional ContributorOkay, I understand that after placing and routing as a whole, logic utilization might be high but for Ram blocks utilization is what is confusing for me. I thought Ram blocks are used when you have local memory buffer, or Dram Ports( I might be wrong here, ), so why there is such a difference in Ram block utilization ? can you clarify that
