[gmx-developers] Parallelism in trajectory analysis tools

[Mark Abraham]

Hi,

As Roland noted, there was some work done at ORNL. Teemu's original plan
embraced the possibility of parallel analysis, but there's no
implementation in master branch.

I don't have a clear picture of a use case that has enough need of compute
that the per-frame workload would not be dominated by overheads from I/O
and the analysis workflow runner. Peter Kasson suggested local pressure
some time (IIRC). Perhaps there are some goodness-of-fit post-simulation
analyses for SAXS/SANS/CryoEM that might motivate?
