[gmx-users] How to set more mpi for the REMD run?

[Paul bauer]

Hello,

yes, this is indeed possible (see 
http://manual.gromacs.org/current/user-guide/mdrun-features.html#running-multi-simulations 
for more information on multi simulations with GROMACS).
It is just the case that the tutorial system is too small to be 
correctly distributed with domain decomposition. If you use a larger 
system that will work.

Cheers

Paul
