[gmx-users] Windows versus Linux

[Germana Paterlini]

 It is possible to run gromacs under windows without hogging 100% of the
cpu.
I run gromacs on the new Pentium 4 at 3 GHz with hyperthread technology.  I
use the gromacs binaries provided on the web site. With the number of
processors set to 2, Windows uses 50% of the CPU on gromacs and it leaves
50% for
 idle processes. I am able to use the PC for other applications without  any
noticeable slowdown.
