Thanks for the info.


Can i put the command as below if i wanna run 3 simulation which has 24 processor with 1 GPU


mdrun -deffnm first -multi 1


mdrun -deffnm second -multi 2


mdrun -deffnm third -multi 3





or i have to specify -multi 3 to all cases ? I am bit confused with this. thanks.

Simply try it out :) 

It could be beneficial to use the -multi options of gmx mdrun 
to start the multiple simulations. This way GROMACS would automatically 
take care of proper process placement and pinning. 

You could make a quick check with, e.g., mdrun -nsteps 5000 -resethway -multi ? 
to get a performance estimate for 2 and for 3 simulations. 

There is more information about this on page 7 of
