You need to clarify which version of namd you're using and whether
you're using a shared memory machine or distributed cluster.

For example, if it requires 450MB to run a traditional MD simulation on the structure, can I assume that it would take 4.5e4MB to run 100 replicas of this system? I can't seem to find any information searching on how namd handles this, but since it seems to just drive x number of different simultaneous simulations, this seems logical.
