parallel

The parallel command enables large scale parallel scripting when VMD has been compiled with MPI support. In absence of MPI support, the parallel command is still available, but it operates the same way it would if an MPI-enabled VMD would when run on only a single node. The parallel command enables large analysis scripts to be easily adapted for execution on large clusters and supercomputers to support simulation, analysis, and visualization operations that would otherwise be too computationally demanding for conventional workstations [14,35,26,40].
