Hi,

I run NAMD_2.6b1 Linux-amd64 binary on AMD64 opteron cluster.
There are two cpus per node.
How to use the dual-processor machines.

Is it as follows?

If the nodelist file contains
--------------------------------------
group main
host node1
host node2
----------------------------------------
running NAMD as:
charmrun namd2 +p4 <configfile>

But the CPU speed is slower than that when the nodelist file contains
----------------------------------------
group main
host node1
host node2
host node3
host node4
-----------------------------------------
running NAMD as:
charmrun namd2 +p4 <configfile>

Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Sincerely
Xiaoqing
