 Hi Pedro and everyone,

 Thanks so much for pointing me there. I seems like the only way to
 parallelize is to run several recon-all simultanously intstead of wating for
 one to finshe and then run the following. I wonder if you (of someone else)
 managed to achieve some further decrease in running times, making a single
 recon-all run faster or something like that. Was it any different in the
 Amazon EC2?

 It would seem that the analysis fo functional data (at least parts of it)
 could run in parallel, since the analysis of one voxel is independent of the
 rest. I would love to know if this is something people do. An ugly
 implementation could be to split the volumes into several small volume files
 and run the analysis separately and then merge back the output volumes. Has
 anyone done something like that or nicer?

 Thanks!

 Pablo

 Yes. Take a look at:

 Also I have successfully executed it at Amazon EC2 instances.

 I was wondering if someone out there has any experience trying to

 along those lines?
