NAME

       dimbl - Distributed Timbl

SYNOPSYS

       dimbl [timbl options] [-S <num of threads>]

DESCRIPTION

       dimbl  extends  timbl  with  the  possibility  to  run the classification task on multiple
       threads.  This is done by splitting up the Instancebase  in  parts  that  are  handled  in
       parallel.  Every  test  instance is tested against each partial Instancebase.  The results
       are merged and then the k Nearest Neighbours are calculated.

NOTES

       dimbl only works for the IB1 variants of timbl.

       Not all timbl options are fully supported.

       Documentation is lacking.

OPTIONS

       -S <threads>
              run the server on 'threads' parallel threads.

       all timbl options are documenented in timbl(1)

       dimbl handles most of them in the same way as timbl except for

       -i filename

       and

       -I filename

       -I will create 'threads' Instancebase files and store their names in  'filename'  together
       with the name of the weighting file.

       -i  will  use  such a file to read back in 'threads' Instancebases for a classifying task.
       The -S option is ignored in that case.  dimbl will  use  the  number  of  files  found  in
       'filename'.
