 objects.
-* __nerv.DAGLayer__ inherits __nerv.Layer__.  
 
+####__nerv.DAGLayer__####
+Inherits __nerv.Layer__.  
+* 	`layers`: __table__, a mapping from a layer ID to its "ref". A ref is a structure that contains reference to space allocations and other info of the layer.
+* 	`inputs`: __table__, a mapping from the inputs ports of the DAG layer to the input ports of the sublayer, the key is the port number, the value is `{ref, port}`.
+* 	`outputs`:__table__, the counterpart of `inputs`.
+* 	`parsed_conn`: __table__, a list of parsed connections, each entry is of format `{{ref_from, port_from}, {ref_to, port_to}}`.
+* 	`queue`: __table__, a list of "ref"s, the propagation of the DAGLayer will follow this order, and back-propagation will follow a reverse order.
+	
 ##Methods##
+
 ###__nerv.ParamRepo__###
-* __void ParamRepo:\_\_init(table param_files)__  
-`param_files` is a list of file names that stores parameters, the newed __ParamRepo__ will read them from file and store the mapping for future fetching.  
-* __nerv.Param ParamRepo.get_param(ParamRepo self, string pid, table global_conf)__  
-__ParamRepo__ will find the __nerv.ChunkFile__ `pf` that contains parameter of ID `pid` and return `pf:read_chunk(pid, global_conf)`.
+
+####nerv.ParamRepo:\_\_init(param\_files)####
+* 	Parameters:  
+	`param_files`: __table__
+*	Description:  
+	`param_files` is a list of file names that stores parameters, the newed __ParamRepo__ will read them from file and store the mapping for future fetching.  
+    
+####nerv.Param ParamRepo.get_param(ParamRepo self, string pid, table global_conf)####
+*	Returns:

 ###__nerv.LayerRepo__###
-* __void LayerRepo:\_\_init(table layer_spec, ParamRepo param_repo, table global_conf)__  
-__LayerRepo__ will construct the layers specified in `layer_spec`. Every entry in the `layer_spec` table should follow the format below:  
-```
-layer_spec : {[layer_type1] = llist1, [layer_type2] = llist2, ...}
-llist : {layer1, layer2, ...}
-layer : layerid = {param_config, layer_config}
-param_config : {param1 = paramID1, param2 = paramID2}

+    
+    ```
