If I understand the recon-all script correctly, the default is to run with -openmp 1 and even if you were to instead specify the available -DoParallel option, that would set openmp to 4 threads (and itkthreads to 4) to do work in parallel. I don't run recon-all with options that increase the number of threads beyond the defaults because it is not cluster friendly. But even for the default settings, you need ~16G of system RAM to run the Ubuntu 22 OS, freesurfer 7.4.1 running recon-all and whatever other processes run on the machine.Given that you specified -openmpi 8, i.e., you added 7 more threads with ~16G of physical RAM to spare, then even with memory management it could be a memory underrun occurred causing the process to exit with Signal 6, e.g., memory allocation fails. You could try and profile machine resource usage by keeping a program like "glances" running on the console and see if reports critical errors in memory usage, CPU load, etc., while recon-all runs. Maybe try the DoParallel option instead to see if the machine has enough resources to run that.- R.

Hi,I would also like to include here the entire set of lines I am using. Since there are three different parallel-associated flags for recon-all, I am also concerned about my choice (OpenMP).>> recon-all -i Sub_1_Time_1.nii -subjid Sub_1_Time_1 -qcache -sd ./OUTPUT_DIR -all -openmp 8>> recon-all -i Sub_1_Time_2.nii -subjid Sub_1_Time_2 -qcache -sd ./OUTPUT_DIR -all -openmp 8>> recon-all -base ./OUTPUT_DIR/Sub_1_base -tp ./OUTPUT_DIR/Sub_1_Time_1 -tp ./OUTPUT_DIR/Sub_1_Time_2 -sd "./OUTPUT_DIR -all -openmp 8>> recon-all -long ./OUTPUT_DIR/Sub_1_Time_1 ./OUTPUT_DIR/Sub_1_base -sd ./OUTPUT_DIR -all -openmp 8>> recon-all -long ./OUTPUT_DIR/Sub_1_Time_2 ./OUTPUT_DIR/Sub_1_base -sd ./OUTPUT_DIR -all -openmp 8Thank you very much!Brunno M CamposUniversity of Campinas

_______________________________________________Dear all,
I run my script for longitudinal processing based on: individual processing (
recon-all -i) + base image creation (recon-all -base) and longitudinal processing (recon-all -long).In some cases (not always), the process terminates with errors, apparently at the same stage. The log states, among other things,
"Reading texture...*** buffer overflow detected ***: terminated Command terminated by signal 6".1 - I assume that I have exceeded my memory capacity. Am I correct?
I have, in fact, written a script that parallelizes these processes, but I might be distributing the workload poorly if that is the case.2 - If this is indeed the issue, do you know the peak memory required for such a process?
Thank you!
