[gmx-users] run gromacs on a single machine with mutiple CPUs

[Seaclear Theory]

I believed the case that single machine with multiple processors (like Dell
server with 2 due core CPUs) should be very popular for end user.  Because
not everyone can offer a 32 nodes cluster or has access to supercomputer
center.

Could we have detail tutorial for "run gromacs on single machine with
multiple processors" Thanks.

Best,

Ocean
