Hi Bruce and Richard, Yes, as Richard pointed out, I just wanted to know the numbers for input to Amdahl's law, if you have already something, to figure out the maximum expected speedup using multiple processors/cores. As for improvements of em_reg, I'll try to split each transform as well as par

Hi Akio I think that the theoretical ratio is much bigger than what you would be able to achieve in practice. It's hard to compute exactly, but for example for em_reg it should be the number of samples (which are processed independently), so something on the order of 1000. For ca_reg it should

I'm guessing that the registration failed (spmregister). If you want the identity, then you can just run tkregister2 with --regheader --reg reg.dat (It will create reg.dat when you hit the "save" button). But it will be unlikely that they will actually be in registration. doug On 07/02/2012 12:
