[gmx-users] REMD speed calculation compared to classical MD

[XAvier Periole]

Well the exchanges do not cost time ... so basically each replica runs
at the speed it would run it was a regular simulation on the number of
cpu you give each replica.

I do not think there any significant difference in NPT/NVT simulations.
Note NVT is often used for REMD

XAvier.
