Hi Karthik, You can use any queue system, but you will need to adapt the script that submits the jobs to the queue, bedpostx.
bedpostx script uses fsl_sub to submit the jobs, which is another script intended for SGE. You can modify the lines that call to fsl_sub with qsub (Torque), but take care with the jobs dependencies. I am not sure if there is a fsl_sub version that supports Torque. Moises.
