[Tex/LaTex] How to use latex commands to draw a flowchart

algorithmsdiagrams

I have to write a flow chart given by figure below

enter image description here

I have used the packages,

\usepackage{tikz}

\usetikzlibrary{shapes,arrows}

But I couldn't get what I want. I hope some LaTeX experts here can help me with this.

Other option is using algorithm2e package, Is that possible to have both codes?

When I use the half commands it goes to other page? How to I write complete flow chart in one page ?
