This is an ambiguous question, so I'll try to answer it both ways.
You set DO_PARALLEL by putting it before the test command (in sh-type shells like sh, bash or dash) or by using the "set" command (in C-shell type shells like csh or tcsh):
sh, bash, etc.:
[user.computer directory]$ DO_PARALLEL='value' ./test_amber_cuda_parallel.sh
csh, tcsh, etc.:
[user.computer directory]$ set DO_PARALLEL 'value'
[user.computer directory]$ ./test_amber_cuda_parallel.sh
As for the value that you give it, it should be mpirun or mpiexec (depending on your MPI implementation), along with whatever command-line flags you think most helpful -- a common flag is -np <number>, which is the number of MPI processes that will be spawned. For example:
DO_PARALLEL='mpirun -np 2'
However, you will need to consult the documentation for your system, or ask your computer support personnel, as we can't advise regarding specific systems.
Best,
Ben
