[gmx-users] problem about distance restraint in REMD simulation

Dear Users:

I have a system with four distance restraints to maintain a hydrogen-bonding network in REMD simulation. While when I applied the distance restraint, the REMD simulation is only ok when applied single CPU for each replica. When I applied more than one CPU for each replica, there are error message like this: "Time or ensemble averaged or multiple pair distance restraints do not work (yet) with domain decomposition, use particle decomposition (mdrun option -pd)". But the "-pd" option can not solve the problem. I have also read some archives, but still unknow how to solve the problem. Can you give me some advices. Thanks!
My file added distance restraint is:
; distance restraints for r_46_&_N_or_r_50_&_O of Protein in water
