I want to calculate my kernel ideal execution time with fmax.

This is my acl_quartus_report.txt ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ALUTs: 7794 Registers: 9,641 Logic utilization: 5,368 / 32,070 ( 17 % ) ( 16 % ) I/O pins:...

The fmax is the highest frequency the design could be run at. The actual used frequency depends on your hardware, on the oscillator you are using and on your pll settings, if you use plls.

I don't understand "my kernel make 350036 elements and work.". If your design uses 350036 clock cycles to compute a result, then yes the execution time will be 1/f*350036.
