Understanding generated RTL from AOC compiler

Hello, Did anyone analyze the verilog/VHDl files after AOC compilation? Which file is the top module. Which files correspond to the OpenCL kernels? Is it possible to optimize the RTL files manua...

The *kernel_name*.v file corresponds to the kernel. There are also a few other .v files in the root of the folder generated by the OpenCL compiler that wrap around the kernel module. The rest of the system is scattered around the sub-folders of this folder. The kernel file itself is 50,000 to 500,000 lines of machine-generated code; modifying it by hand is not very practical.
