Hi Pablo
it also depends on how much ram it has. You should be able to run 1 significantly faster using the -openmp 8 flag to recon-all, or 8 (if you have enough ram, probably at least 32G)

Dear Bruce,Last week I emailed with the question of how many recon -all separate subjects I could run in parallel with the FS version 5.3 for Centos 6. You answered that this depends on how many cores my machine has. I just found out that our workstation has two processors with 4 cores each (8 cores in total). Would you be able to tell me how many subjects could I run in parallel with our workstation? Thank you for your support, Pablo

wondering up to how many recon -all for separate subjects I can run in parallel. With the version of Snow Leopard 32b I was running two at a time and it took around 20 hours. Would I be able to run 6 subjects in parallel

If so would this process still efficient or there is an optimum number? Thank you, Pablo

I have to agree with Gari, I see no reason for you to not use the CentOS6 build.

Dear Gari, Thank you for the advice. One additional question. Considering that I will start from scratch the processing in the CentOS 6, which would be the recommended FS version for CentOS 6? Thanks, Pablo

Hi Pablo, you shouldn't mix different OS-s or software version in the same study (Gronenschild, E. H. B. M., Habets, P., Jacobs, H. I. L., Mengelers, R., Rozendaal, N., van Os, J., & Marcelis, M. (2012). The effects of FreeSurfer version, workstation type, and Macintosh operating system version on anatomical volume and cortical thickness measurements. /PloS one/, /7/(6), e38234. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0038234).
for the CentOS 6 you should install CentOS 6 (if you want version 4 it works too). regards! Gari

Dear FS experts, I have a question about compatibility for running recon-all (longitudinal stream) between CentOS 6 x86_64 (64bit) and Mac SnowLeopard OS X 10.6 (32b Intel).
I already run recon all- for several of my subjects with a Mac Book Pro with Snow Leopard (using Release_I386 i386). As I have access to an additional machine (a linux CentOS 6 (64b)) I was wondering if I could process additional subjects in parallel with this other machine that are also intended to be included in the longitudinal stream. Also, I am not sure about whether I should be installing in the CentOS 6 machine the software for CentOS 6, or CentOS 4 (32b) because of compatibility issues. Thank you very much for your attention, Pablo
