[gmx-users] QMMM number of thread

[Javier Cerezo]

1.- You can only run the MD part in 1 thread, but you can perform the QM 
step with more procs. Note that, except for MOPAC, for which the library 
libmopac (see instructions in the website for how to get this) is 
directly used by the GROMACS code, the QM part consists in a external 
call to the QM package. In this call, you can use as many procs as you 
would use in any other call to the QM program.

2.- As said avobe, yes, the QM program manages its threads and memory 
independently, as it is a external call (except for MOPAC).

3.- Needs third party software (Gaussian, ORCA...) or the libmopac 
library provided at compilaton time.
