Hi Prad - What will affect the speed is whether you run it locally on your computer (in which case it'll process one slice after the other) or on a cluster (in which case all the slices will be processed in parallel on different nodes of the cluster). This is the case regardless of the version that you use.
Best,

Hello Anastasia,
I have been trying to run through the tutorial with one of the subjects from the tutorial(elmo.2008) to familiarize myself with Tracula. The preprocessing step seems to have been completed without any errors (Log file attached).However, when I proceed with the ball and stick model fit step, I get the following error
bedpostx_mgh -n 2 /home/biba1/testing_tracula/diffusion/elmo.2008/dmri /apps/freesurfer/bin/bedpostx_mgh: 131: /apps/freesurfer/bin/bedpostx_mgh: Syntax error: "(" unexpected. I'm running the tutorial locally on Ubuntu 12.04 with FSL 5.0.9.
In an earlier post where the same error was encountered(https://www.mail-archive.com/freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/msg38004.html) you recommended running bedpostx directly.
Would this impact the results or run time in any way? and is there something I can do to fix this error if it is likely to take much longer?
Thanks!
