Re: [Freesurfer] Specification of computer

Hi Aziz

with multiple course you can specify -openmp 8 for exmaple to use 8 cores, which speeds things up a lot. It also depends how many recons you will be running at the same time. A 16 core machine with 64G of ram would be able to run 4 recons in a few hours each.

Hi experts, I would like to find a new high-performance computer to run the reconstruction process in Freesurfer.  Currently, I used a single computer (Intel core i7, RAM 8MB) to run the commands (e.g., 'recon-all -all' ) that spent average time 7-9 hours per one subject data.

Please let me know what the best spec of the computer that can reduce the time to 2-3 hours (if possible).

Thank you, Aziz
