PreFreeSurfer uses mostly single threaded tools. Some of FreeSurfer is multi-threaded (and importantly one binary has some issues with oversubscribed cores leading to much longer execution times). PostFreeSurfer is largely multi-threaded. In all cases, the pipelines use multiple threads by default if they can.

I have a computer with 8 cores and I would like to use 7 of them while running pipelines that take a lot of time (such as FreeSurfer). Is there any way to specify the core number when running the script? Or are there any tricks to speed up the processing time? Thanks a lot!
