Sharif,

what Pedro Paulo suggests is how we use our cluster here at the NMR Center: we simply treat each node as a separate machine, running an instance of recon-all. so with 200 nodes, 200 subjects can be processed. recon-all does not yet support multi-threading, so multi-core machines are not yet utililized (unless your PBS system is clever enough to treat each core as a node, which is the case with our own cluster management software, but this is outside the scope of recon-all).

Depends on your cluster configuration. But if you are using a PBS cluster you can just spawn one recon-all per subject and the queue will take care of them.

    Hi all there,
    Could you please tell me how I can run freesurfer in a cluster
    computer so that
    I can use the full power of the cluster.

    Thank you very much for your kind attention.
