 ===== Components =====
-   * [[sources | Sources]] are components which emit tokens onto channels; multiple ways of specifying the data are supported
+   * [[sources | Sources]]: Components which emit tokens onto channels; multiple data origins are supported
-   * [[sinks | Sinks]] are the opposite of sources; they absorb tokens
+   * [[sinks | Sinks]]: Absorbs tokens
-   * [[scoreboards | Scoreboards]] are an advanced form of sink; they can compare a model output with the actual micro-architecture to verify the latter
+   * [[scoreboards | Scoreboards]]: Advanced form of sink; used for verifying a micro-architecture design against a model or known good output
-   * [[loggers | Loggers]] provide a simple way of extracting data tokens from a channel without influencing visibility for the components they connect
+   * [[loggers | Loggers]]: Can be fitted onto a channel between two components to log transferred data without being visible to either end
-   * The library also provides an [[ inf_buffer | infinite capacity buffer]], which removes possible timing influences of the simulation harness
+   * [[ inf_buffer | Infinite capacity buffer]]: Can be used to remove possible timing influences of the simulation harness on the design under test
-   * [[rng | Random number generators]] are special sources, which output random tokens
+   * [[rng | Random number generators]]: Source which outputs random tokens
-   * Lastly, the library also exposes the functions used for [[file | file interaction]]
+   * [[file | File interaction functions]]: Enables basic interactions with data input and output files
+   * [[splitter | Splitter]]: Replicates incoming token onto a specified number of output channels without influencing slack
