How to reduce the use of RAM blocks?

Hi, After I compile my OpenCL FPGA code, the use of RAM(memory) bits is 40%, but the use of RAM(memory) blocks is 75%, how to reduce the use of memory blocks? Thanks!

Decrease the number of accesses to your local memory buffers. You can also use the guidelines available in "Intel FPGA SDK for OpenCL Best Practices Guide, Section 7.4-7.5".
