files at the end of the command file with statements like:
$if (-e chunktemp.$tmpext) rm -f chunktemp.$tmpext
The input and output files need not be in the same directory as the
command files; a path specification can precede each filename. Also,
the master command file need not be in the current directory; the chunk
command files will be placed in the directory where it is located. In
this case, however, you must enter the path to the input and output
files relative to the command file's directory, not relative to the
current directory.
When Chunksetup is run, it first calls Tomopieces, which analyzes
the dimensions of the input file to determine how to chop it up opti-
mally. It then produces command files for extracting each chunk with
Taperoutvol and processing them, numbered sequentially with 3-digit
numbers. If the name of the master command file is "", the
first command file is, INPUTFILE is replaced by com-, and OUTPUTFILE is replaced by comfile-001.out, and simi-
larly for the following files. Each file contains a command to remove, so only the output chunks accumulate as the files are
run. Chunksetup also produces a command file to reassemble the pieces,, which will also delete the output chunks and the
command and log files for each of the chunks. Finally, it produces a
command file,, to run all of the chunks in sequence and
run the finishing command file at the end.
You have the option of running the top-level command file using "subm",
or running the individual command files and running the finishing com-
mand file at the end. If you have multiple processors available with
access to the current directory, you can use the Processchunks
script to run the jobs in parallel on the various processors or
machines, such as with:
processchunks machine_list comfile
where machine_list is a list of the machines to use, or just the number
of processor to use on the local machine.
Chunksetup uses the PIP package for input (see the manual page for
pip). Options can be specified either as command line arguments
Options can be abbreviated to unique letters; the currently valid
abbreviations for short names are shown in parentheses.
-master (-ma) OR -MasterComFile File name
Name of master command file. If this option is not entered, the
first non-option argument will be taken as this name.
-input (-i) OR -InputImageFile File name
Name of input image file. If this option is not entered, the
second non-option argument will be taken as this name.
-output (-ou) OR -OutputImageFile File name
Name of output image file. If this option is not entered, the
third non-option argument will be taken as this name.
-p OR -PaddingPixels Integer
Number of pixels of padding on each edge of each subvolume. The
default is 8.
-o OR -OverlapPixels Integer
Minimum number of pixels of overlap between the subvolumes. The
default is 8.
-m OR -MegavoxelMaximum Integer
Limit each subvolume to the given number of megavoxels. The
default is whatever the default is for Tomopieces (20
-xm (-x) OR -XMaximumPieces Integer
The maximum number of chunks in the X direction. The default is
-1, which is effectively no limit. See the man page for Tomo-
pieces for more details on the choices for maximum number of
-ym (-y) OR -YMaximumPieces Integer
The maximum number of chunks in the Y direction. The default is
-1, which is effectively no limit.
-no (-n) OR -NoFFTSizes
Do not increase padding to make suitable sizes for an FFT. Use
this option if no FFTs will be taken of the volumes. It causes
the "-nofft" option to be sent to Tomopieces and to be added
to the input to Taperoutvol that is placed in the command
-param (-pa) OR -ParameterFile Parameter file
Read parameter entries as keyword-value pairs from a parameter
-help (-h) OR -usage
Print help output
Read parameter entries from standard input

This is how FPGA Prototyping Works
Majeed Ahmad   Published on 07-02-2015 11:00 AM
FPGA prototyping has come a long way since the late 1980s when chipmakers began using FPGA devices for building system prototypes of ASIC designs. The utility of a working FPGA prototype allows hardware designers to develop and test their systems, and it provides software developers early access to a fully functioning ...
A lot has changed since the late 1980s when FPGAs emerged on the semiconductor realm. Chip developers are now dealing with mega-million gate counts for the larger ASIC/SoC designs, and here, design partitioning, debug and scalability requirements are turning the FPGA-based prototyping technology into an even more viabl...
A prototype is used to develop both hardware and software iteratively
S2C Inc.'s e-book titled "Getting the Most Out of FPGA Prototyping" can serve as a handbook on how this design methodology works. Moreover, it debunks the myths surrounding the issues regarding how FPGA prototyping works and what value it brings to ASIC/SoC designers. S2C has cobbled the e-book on FPGA prototyping syst...
The series of articles can help chip designers navigate the world of FPGA prototyping technology—everything from overcoming FPGA prototyping hurdles to expanding the use of FPGA prototype design flow to even the larger designs.
Furthermore, the e-book from S2C looks into the specifics of how FPGA-based prototyping can accelerate design and verification process. And by doing that it offers an insight into how a complete prototyping platform can be helpful at any design stage and for any design size.
FPGA Prototyping: Challenges and Solutions
The book kicks off with an outline of five key challenges to FPGA prototyping and provides a detailed treatment of issues such as partitioning, debug and reusability. Next, it delves into ways for addressing these challenges and details the criteria for selecting FPGA-based prototyping systems.
The e-book also clears the air about this myth that FPGA prototyping is only suited to small designs; it forcefully makes the case for the use of FPGA prototyping in large SoC designs. Here, the book refers to the recent advancements in partitioning, debug, and scalability that have made FPGA-based prototyping a far mo...
The book also shows how extending the functionality of FPGA prototyping through the use of a transactor interface can open up tremendous possibilities to designers. Next up, Getting the Most Out of FPGA Prototyping resorts to transactor as a use case of an interface between a software program and AXI-compliant hardware...
Transactors make early software development a reality
Finally, about the SoC designs, which are growing both in size and complexity, it's worth noting that software development and hardware verification are the two leading factors in SoC design cost. Here, at this SoC premise, the book shows how today's off-the-shelf FPGA prototyping systems can offer value in every stage...
The ebook Getting the Most Out of FPGA Prototyping is short, sweet and well worth an ASIC/SoC designers' time.
Knowing When to Hire Divorce Lawyers in Puyallup, WA
People who choose to end their marriages normally have a specific moment when they knew that divorce was the only viable approach. When one of those moments occurs, the only smart thing to do is talk with one of the divorce lawyers in Puyallup WA and begin the proceedings. Here are some examples of moments make a call ...
Unwilling to End an Outside Relationship
Finding out a spouse is involved with a third party is difficult. Even so, the individual may be willing to go to counseling in an attempt to salvage the marriage. As part of the attempt, the wandering spouse will need to give up that outside relationship. When the individual is reluctant to do so for any reason, the o...
A Dangerous Situation
There were some signs early on that the spouse could be abusive, but it’s only in the last couple of months that things have gotten to the point of physical and emotional violence. Now is the time to get out of the marriage before the abused spouse begins to accept responsibility for what is happening. Many victims are...
Different Paths
Early on, the couple had a lot in common. The years have changed that, as each person developed new interests, goals, and outlooks on life. Simply put, neither spouse is the same person as they were in years past. Before they begin to resent one another, it makes sense to divorce and remain friends.
Whatever the reasons behind the desire to divorce, it pays to hire an attorney to handle the details. Doing so does close one chapter in life, but it also means that it’s possible to move on to something that is better.

The Largest Hospital in Each State
Healthcare jobs are plentiful, and at least through 2024, the demand for healthcare professionals such as nurses, anesthesiologists and physicians will only continue to rise.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics has said that healthcare jobs are “expected to have the fastest employment growth and to add the most jobs between 2014 and 2024.” Given the healthcare industry’s propensity for increased growth, hospitals need to embrace scalable IT—for their own sake and for the sake of their patients.
