Hi everybody,

Sorry for a somewhat technical question, but I'd like to know which is the best way to run GROMACS on a SMP machine (in particular, a multicore PC). The (known) points of interest are:

- Does GROMACS support multithreaded execution & how efficient is it?

No.

- Should I rather use some kind of MPI & which (LAM/Open/MPICH) is better & why?

Yes. This is the only way.

Surely, there's always the option to run two serial jobs instead with a greater efficiency, but having some means to boost the single job performance by something like 1.9x would be very useful...

Thanks in advance,

Vasilii
