[gmx-users] Use trjconv in parallel

Hi Stephane,

Depending on what you want to do, it may be possible to split your
trajectory into frames (e.g. on /dev/shm) and process those in parallel,
joining the results into a new trajectory. You can contact me if you want a
python script for splitting an XTC file into frames.

Cheers,

Tsjerk
