btw, it will almost certainly be more efficient to run each subject with 1 thread and run them all at the same time rather than running a few of them with 4 or 8. If you can run them all with multiple threads, then that might be more efficient (depends on your scheduler, for slurm it would be).

There's a small percentage of subjects that need more than the 8Gb of memory (for mris_fix_topology if my memory is correct).

You could increase the memory allocation for all subjects, or you could run your entire dataset with 8Gb per subject, then re-run the ones that failed with increased memory.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for your speedy response! In that case, I assume 1GB/core is the memory allocation? Is it helpful to increase that?

Best,
Mitch

Hi Mitch,

In our experience, -openmp 8 gives faster recons than -openmp 4, but the gains after -openmp 8 diminish quickly and aren't worth it.

    Hi Experts,

    If I have 100s of subjects to recon and have access to an HPC with
    both GPU and CPU options what is the recommended flags to maximize
    speed performance? Is … -parallel -openmp 4 … still the best
    approach? And if so, is 2GB memory/core best (keeping it 8GB
    memory/subject) or is there some better arrangement?

    Best,

    Mitch
