Thanks.

Just to confirm, the openmp reflects threads and not cores? In other words, on 
we have a 4 core machine with hyperthreading, so with 4 cores we have 8 threads 
available.

In that scenario, would the -openmp 4 option reflect 4 cores/8 threads or just 
4 threads.

Thanks again.

They are exactly the same. The two flags go to the same code.

        External Email - Use Caution

Hello,

What is the difference between the -openmp and -threads option for recon-all?

Do they reflect the same thing: Number of threads used concurrently?

If we want to use 10 threads for the recon-all command, which option should we 
use? -openmp or -threads? How does this relate to the -parallel option?

Does every part of recon-all use multi-threading or only does only a subset of 
parts within recon-all use multi-threading?

Thanks in advance.

d.m.
