Split table into sub-tables

When a table is too large to be analysed at once, this software can split a table into n small tables. Only one line of the large table is loaded into memory, so huge tables can be split on a small computer. Many large tables can also be split in parallel on a fast computer.

Manual :

1- if not already installed, install Perl free programming language.

2- install GNU parallel

3- unzip the software

4- copy your tables csv files in the “data” directory. Separator TAB by default.

1st row : columns names

1st column : row names

5- edit the file conf.txt to set the table separator and the number of CPUs.

6- execute the software by the command : perl parallel_split_subTables-0.1.pl

7- processed files are in the “results” directory.
