Re: [Freesurfer] Parallelization

Hi Spencer,

the easy answer is that we have a GPU implementation of several binaries that speed things up. The parallelization ranges from easy to impossible, but we are working on it. We don't have any generic (e.g. MPI) parallization at the moment, just some CUDA code.

New to Freesurfer here, but I was wondering if there is any viability to the idea of parallelizing freesurfer for running on multiple servers so as to reduce the time required to run recon-all on a single subject. Is there an aspect of the algorithm that makes this inherently infeasible?
