There are numerous tutorials on this as well as discussion in the user
guide -- I would recommend that you read these. The command line arguments
for multiple CPUs depends on the particular binary you are using and in
what context (multiple nodes, etc.), however the multicore version is the
simplest and most common:

$ namd2 +p<number of CPUs> <config file>
