External Email - Use Caution Hello Freesurfer team,
Our lab is considering purchasing a new workstation, typically for running Freesurfer at the current stage. The best we can get would be a Dell model with 23 physical cores (46 logical cores) 256 Gb RAM Ubuntu Nvidia box, but we are confused if the hardware processing capacity will significantly improve Freesurfer performance or will even not support Freesurfer functions. We are aware that number of cores can lead to an exponential growth in speed using parallel processing. Is there an upper limit to this increase? We also know that having a larger RAM can improve the performance of Freeview and we also wonder if it reaches marginal effects for a 256 Gb RAM, and if having a Nvidia box would make a difference. Thanks, Jin
