Re: [AMBER] Query about microsecond long simulation

It is off topic. I "think" it was in reference to running a single 1
microsecond trajectory vs. breaking it up into 10x100ns trajectories (each
started with a new random seed but using the coordinates from the end of
the previous trajectory). Sequential serial calculations.
