Dear Freesurfer experts, I've been using Freesurfer on Mac computers for some years with great satisfaction. I just bought a "monster computer", a Mac Pro with 12-core Xeon E5, 64 Gb RAM, GPU AMD FirePro D700. This is, out of doubt, a marvellous machine to compute many subjects simultaneously, but quite often we need to run one single subject as fast as possible. What can I do? OpenMP optimization is available only for CentOS, isn't it? What about CentOS in a VM, will it be able to exploit multithreading, or is it necessary to configure a multiboot machine with BootCamp? Any suggestions to do that? Moreover, what about CUDA and GPU acceleration? Is it available for FirePro graphic cards? Any other suggestions? Anything really new in the field with the next version of Freesurfer? Thanks a lot
