AFNI binaries for linux are available - see the page [
afni.nimh.nih.gov] for more info. We don't supply BSD binaries.
At this time, AFNI doesn't use multiple threads or processes. The command line programs that take up the most time (e.g., 3dDeconvolve, 3dNLfim) could benefit from such parallelism, but not having such a system myself, I've not looked into the issues.
The two main techniques for parallizing are shared-memory SMP and message passing (e.g., MPI, PVM). I'd be interested to hear informed comments on these very different approaches.
