External Email - Use Caution        

Hello Mina,

On the setup page under the CentOS7 and 8 header, https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki//FS7_linux, it does mention you can use the same archive and rpm installer for both CentOS7 and CentOS8.  Or the CentOS7 binaries should be backwards compatible on CentOS8.  We should eventually have a CentOS8 installer from native builds on CentOS8.

To make that more clear, I changed the chart for downloads on the page, https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/rel7downloads, so say “use the CentOS7” archive or RPM. 

Cuda is no longer officially supported as it is a moving target w.r.t NVIDIA hardware and drivers.  Maybe some other folks on the list have suggestions for GPU's.   I know Apple no longer supports NVIDIA hardware.

- R.

Greetings FreeSurfer team,

I have some questions regarding the latest stable version of freesurfer;

1- I am currently using Centos 8, and the Freesurfer download link for this version says centos 7 not 8.. is it compatible with centos 8?

2- Is it true that CUDA is no longer available for freesurfer? is there any other option for GPU acceleration? as it was crucial for recon-all speed (got 2.7 hours/subject instead of 6 hours on version 6).

best regards
Mina
