It is possible. If you have Gromacs (version >= 4.6) compiled with MPI 
and you specify the number of replicas (-multi 16) in the mdrun command 
and 64 processors are allocated by mpirun, mdrun should start 4 MPI 
processes per each replica. It worked for me, at least. With OpenMP 
parallelization it would run faster, I have some problems with it 
though. Read the latest posts "Problems with REMD in Gromacs 4.6.3".
