Abstract
Electro-photonic networks, including a plurality of processing elements connected by bidirectional photonic channels, suited for implementing neural-network models. Weights of the model may be preloaded into memory of the processing elements based on assignments of neural nodes to processing elements implementing them, and routers of the processing elements can be configured to stream activations between the processing elements based on a predetermined flow of activations in the model.
