Hi!
yes, you need to compile a parallel version of AMBER 8, in the usual
way, in order to gain speed performance in P4/Dual Core.
Im using a MPI version of sander and pmemd in our linux cluster, and in
some P4/Dual-Core and I have compiled the source code from the configure
scripts provided for MPI versions. I recommend that you compile with
MPICH2.
The scaling factor speed for P4/Dual-Core is 1.97 compared with
monoprocessor version.
