+Distributed Cellpose for Larger-Than-Memory Data
+------------------------------------------------
+
+The `cellpose.contrib.distributed_cellpose` module is intended to help run cellpose on datasets
+that are too large to fit in system memory. The dataset is divided into overlapping blocks and
+each block is segmented separately. Results are stitched back together into a seamless segmentation
+of the whole dataset.
+
+Blocks can be run in parallel, in series, or both. Compute resources (GPUs, CPUs, and RAM) can be
+arbitrarily partitioned.
