===== Program Usage ======================================================================
GBOOST.exe -l listFile -m workmode -o outputPrefix -t theshold
        
		-l Input List File
        -m workmode (default : CPU)
                CPU -- CPU mode
                GPU -- GPU mode
        -t Threshold value (default : 30.0)
        -o Output files' prefixs (default : '')

Examples :
        BOOST -l .\filenameList.txt -m CPU -o Output -t 30

		For a filenameList.txt containing the filenames of all file to be analyzed, 
		GBOOST will output three files
	                'OutputDistrCollection.txt'
        	        'OutputInteraction.txt'
                	'OutputMarginalAssociation.txt'
