Hi folks!
I try to use -openmp option on an iMAC with 4 cores. Unfortunately, I do not see any accelartion when processing a single data set with or without the flag -openmp flag set.
recon-all -s ernie_1 -all
leads to ~6,4h processing time.
Unfortunately recon-all -s ernie_2 -all -openmp 4
did not change anything. Do I miss anything? Do I have to prepare my system in a special way? Or run any scripts in advance?
(System: iMac, 32GbRam,Intel i5, 4 cores, Mac Os 10.9, latest FS version)
Best wishes,
Luke
Hi Luke
what version of FS are you running? We see significant speedups. Try running top in a unix terminal and seeing if the cpu usage of mri_ca_register (during autorecon2, the longest single step) is more than 100%
