And I assume it means there's no pipelining. But the report also says the block44 will be launched every 2 clock cycles. What does this mean? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!Link Copied

This usually happens with nested loops where the outer loop is serialized due to a dependency in the inner loop. In such cases the outer loop is pipelined, but it will be stalled until the inner loop is fully executed. What the initiation interval of two means in this case is that even if the inner loop finishes in one clock, the outer loop will be executed once every two clocks. In every other case, the outer loop is basically serialized. You could assume the two clocks is the "minimum" initiation interval of the outer loop.
