Hi Johannes,
Based on this, I think that given that Fiji/Imagej are the two applications
that will be mainly used on the rig, perhaps the most logical decision may
be to purchase a system with a single multi-core processor with as much
memory and cores as I can reasonably get rather than a dual processor system
since Fiji will only handle one processor without much benefit from the
second. From the discussion, it seems like the system RAM and the speed of
the individual processor will make more of a difference in speed and power
as far as handling the calculations necessary. Does this sound like a fair
assessment of the situation? Thank you again!
Best,
Zach

In theory, it should be very easy to write a plugin that launches macros
in parallel. In practice, too many plugins (and also parts of the ImageJ
1.x core) were designed with the one machine, one user, one macro (and
don't you touch the mouse while it is running ;-)) paradigm in mind.
That means that the plugins you want to use have to be vetted, and
possibly fixed, to be able to run in a multi-threaded manner.
Ciao,
Johannes
