[gmx-users] Running multiple Gromacs simulations on the same node

[Szilárd Páll]

If you run MPI-enabled GROMACS and start N simulation with M(=1) ranks
each, you will have N*M processes. That's how MPI works. However, you
do not necessarily need to use MPI; the default build uses thread-MPI,
for instance.
