Hi, I currently run a CPU with 2 Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5355 @ 2.66GHz with 16GB RAM, and a single instance of recon-all -all with version freesurfer-Linux-centos4_x86_64-stable-pub-v4.0.1 takes this long: real 1219m45.802s user 1218m32.345s sys 2m1.152s Which is about 20.5 hours.

In my experience, on an older CPU with a single dual quad core Xeon @ 1.6Ghz, a single instance of recon-all -all took this long:

real 1806m53.356s user 1797m35.349s sys 7m59.934s Which is about 30 hours.

Perhaps a benchmark page can be set up on the wiki, where people can record how long recon-all -all took for one subject. For example CPU-MODEL CPU-FREQ RAM FREESURFER-VERSION TIME

just a suggestion, mishkin

Hi, we are buying a new Computer for running Freesurfer, FSL etc. After my experience, that a 3 GHz xeon 5050 was running slower than a 1.6 GHz Xeon 5110, due to older processor architecture, i wanna be sure to buy the right one. Does somebody has an experience with a Xeon E 5345, 2.66 GHz ? If so, how long does a Freesurfer recon-all process run?

Thanks for any suggestions, Thomas _______________________________________________ Freesurfer mailing list Freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu https://mail.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/freesurfer
