Work-around Steps

1. Open "Xilinx -> Repositories" in Vitis GUI menu;
2. Navigate to "Library Repositories" in left panel;
3. Find the "Location" of "Vitis Accelerated Libraries Repository" in development machine;
4. Open the location in file manager, and drop the description.json file above into quantitative_finance/L2/benchmarks/TreeEngine/TreeSwaptionEngineHWModel folder;
5. Go back to Vitis GUI, close the dialog window and run "Xilinx -> Scan Repositories & Platforms" from menu;
6. Recreate the project with U50.
