Hey thanks,

I haven't worried about multi threading typically since I just run more brains simultaneously. On my computer, I have sufficient 64 gigs RAM (64 gigs) and 24 CPU/cores (not sure which)  to run 20 recon-all scripts simultaneously at full speed. Would I still benefit from the multi threading? I am a little confused about cores vs cpus

I created a copy of the recon-all script that stops at calabel step, and am running that now.

Hi, Josh, I think you can run the autorecon1, subcortseg and no segstats if you don't want the statistics file (aseg.stats). Also, use -openmp 8 can speed up quite a lot by multi-threading. For a regular T1 brain image, I can the running time to get aseg.mgz in about 4-5 hours. 

recon-all -i subject autorecon1 -subcortseg -nosegstats -openmp 8

cheers,
Natalie

Hi Josh,

yes, I think that's correct.
