 The Lightning developer kit contains the minimum-viable photonic devices to perform a single multiplication operation in the photonic domain. The current version of Lightning developer kit takes in two input signals (in analog voltages, represented by $A$ and $B$), and returns an output signal  (in analog voltages, represented by $R$). For each operation, $R=A*B$ is performed in photonic domain inside the Lightning developer kit. For more details, please refer to the Appendix of our [paper](https://doi.org/10.1145/3603269.3604821).

 # Lightning Register Transfer Level (RTL) Code
-The Lightning RTL code implements the fast datapath 
- The code in this folder reproduces results reported in Lightning paper Section 6.
+The Lightning RTL code implements the novel "reconfigurable count-action" based datapath that handles the data movement from ML inference request packets to the final result packets. In particular, our reconfigurable count-action abstraction decouples the control and data planes of inference requests by enabling the datapath to keep track of the directed acyclic graph (DAG) of each inference request for DNN models without interrupting the flow of the data in and out of photonic computing cores.
