i have ran a particular MD of protein in water for 100ps (50,000 steps) in a
variety of combinations

1. on a single processor( non-mpi) intel core2duo 2.2Ghz 2 GB ram time taken
: 1hr 30 min
2. 2 processors on a single machine (MPI) similar specs time taken : 35 min
3 .2 processors on different machines (mpi) similar specs time taken : 1hr 5
min
4 .5 processors on 5 different machines (mpi) similar specs time taken: 38
min
5.10 processors on 5 different machines(mpi) similar specs time taken: 45
min
