Re: [Freesurfer] Specification of computer

Hi Aziz

-openmp 4 will speed up the recon of a single subject. If you had 16 
processors and enough RAM you could run 4 subjects at the same time that 
way and each of them would be faster. We've had recons complete in 2-3 
hours this way, depending on the anatomy.

Hi Bruce,

So, I am not sure if I understand correct. Suppose, I would like to run 4 
subjects simultenously, I have
to run the recon-all command of each subject on each terminal with -openmp. 
Otherwise, is there any
other options to run 4 subjects in one terminal.
Thank you,
Aziz.

Hi Bruce,
Does FS6 support the 'openmp 8' flag? I tried to use this flag with 
'recon-all
-all' on FS6, but it took
longer time for only one subject. 

Thank you,
