The following table provides a brief description of the files that the Vivado IDE creates during implementation design operations.

Important: Do not modify the implementation files manually. These files are maintained by the Vivado IDE.

Table 1. Outputs For Implementation
Output File	File Name	Description
Run Directory	<projectname>.runs	This directory contains all the scripts, input, and output files necessary for the first implementation run in the project (named impl_1 by default). For each additional implementation run created, a directory parallel to impl_1 is created (named impl_2, impl_3, etc. by default).
Run Implementation and Launch Vivado IDE Runs	<name>.rpt <name>.rpx <name>.pb <top>_<step>.dcp runme.log	Reports generated as part of the run appear as <name>.rpt and <name>.rpx. You can view <name>.rpt files in the Vivado IDE Text Editor and load <name>.rpx files in the Vivado IDE. Messages are stored in <name>.pb files. A checkpoint is written at each step of the implementation flow and stored as <top>_<step>.dcp. The log of the run is stored as runme.log.
Launch Scripts	<top>.tcl runme.bat, runme.sh vrs_config_<#>.xml vivado.begin.rst, vivado.end.rst	When you launch a run, the Vivado IDE creates launch scripts automatically. These scripts contain commands and command-line options specified in the Vivado IDE strategy. The vrs_config_<#>.xml files are located under the project run directory in a /jobs subdirectory. These files define the run name, directory, steps, and so forth. vivado.begin.rst tracks that the run launched, and vivado.end.rst tracks that it finished.
