[AMBER] Atoms per processor

Dear all,
        I'm trying to understand how sander splits the workload of a simulation amongst processors, and I'm a bit at a loss. I thought that the idea was to assign approximately the same number of residues to
each processor, but looking at my output, I read

  Number of triangulated 3-point waters found: 19880
  | Atom division among processors:
  | 0 12907 14831 16757 18683 20609 22535 24461
  | 26387 28313 30236 32159 34085 36008 37931 39857
  | 41780 43703 45629 47552 49475 51401 53324 55247
  | 57173 59096 61019 62945 64868 66791 68717 70640
  | 72563

For this specific simulation, my protein has 812 residues; the rest is a few counterions and water. From this output, it looks like all the protein residues are given to the first processor, and the
rest is split equally amongst the others.
If I try to run on a different number of processors, I find a similar result: all the protein residues to processor 1, and the rest equally split.
Is that how it's supposed to be?


Thanks,

Charo
