Dear FreeSurfer community,

The Open Science Grid (http://www.opensciencegrid.org) is a federation of university and laboratory HPC facilities which share computing capacity to support science.  

We have developed a command line tool “fsurf” you can use from your laptop or desktop computer to submit scans for FreeSurfer processing on these clusters.

In the initial release it is capable of executing “recon-all –all –i SubjectName.mgz” using FreeSurfer 5.3.  

No allocation is required.

We only request that you cite the OSG in publications that benefit from its use.  

Instructions for getting started are found here: http://bit.ly/freesurferopensciencegrid.

Please post questions and problems to OSG user support at user-support@opensciencegrid.org.

We hope you find it useful.

Best regards,

The OSG fsurf support team
