GPU version

Click Plugins from gear icon on the upper left corner to open Plugins window
Click the + icon on the top and fill in the fields with the following information

name:federated_gpu
       id:federated_gpu
       repo:vickyqu0/cwt

       annotation required:no aim required

The plugin configuration should be same as in the screenshot below

Click the parameters gear icon and enter the parameters below one by one

- Parameter 1 - Dicoms folder: epad sends images in to "/Code_Deploy_CWT/Data_v1" folder

id:dicoms
format:inputfolder
defaultvalue:/Code_Deploy_CWT/Data_v1

- Parameter 2 - Output folder: defines in which folder the outputs from the plugin will go

id:output
format:outputfolder
defaultvalue:/Code_Deploy_CWT/ADNI_experiment

- Parameter 3 - Number of Instances: defines how many institution in total will be in the process. (Ex: Stanford and Berkeley = 2)

id:parameters
name:--num_inst
format:parameters
default value : 2

- Parameter 4 - Institution ID: defines the identification number for a specific institution (ex: Stanford and Berkley will run the plugin so. Stanford is 1 and Berkeley will set 2 for this value)

id:parameters
name:--inst_id
format:parameters
default value : 2

- Parameter 5 - Output location: Flag to use output location which the folder location is given above (outputfolder parameter)
