There’s a few threads on the issue on the forum, the general recommendations haven’t changed on all that much. The main thing I’d watch out for is to ensure you have a decent NVIDIA GPU on board, since that means you can use the CUDA version of eddy
, which will massively accelerate dwifslpreproc
. Otherwise, take a look at these posts:
Yes, with the possible exception of tcksift if running with more than ~10 million streamlines – it’s quite memory-intensive…
The other memory-hungry application is fixelcfestats (the statistics for fixel-based analysis), which can require 64-128GB…
I’d say try it without, and upgrade if you need to. However, if you know you intend to use tcksift / tcksift2 (which I’d recommend), I’d install the extra RAM now.
Yes, within the same limitations as above, and depending on your input data. For …
Dear experts
We are going to buy a new desktop computer for preprocessing/tractography of multishell data and I really appreciate if someone could help us to find a powerful machine.
P.S. I have been using Ubuntu virtual machine installed on windows 8 so far.
Here is my current PC specification:
Processor: Intel ® Xeon® CPU E5-2640 v3 @ 2.6 GHz
RAM: 32 GB
System type: 64 bit operating system, x64-based processor
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,

Hi @jramend ,
Myself and @jdtournier are both Arch Linux users , and I’d hazard a guess that any other Linux machines used by developers are probably Ubuntu. Personally I’m using xfce as my WM, kernel 4.4.48-1-lts on a single GTS 250 (LTS kernel required to keep the older 340.xx video drivers working).
Are you attempting to use bumblebee or similar to deal with the multiple GPUs? I believe @Dave has some experience with that.
It might be worth copy&pasting your configure script log (mak…
