I think openMP is pretty much invisible to the outside code, so you could
use the ordinary tests. But don't expect much: cpptraj is the main code
that could benefit from openMP. There is some support in pmemd, but I think
it is rarely used -- most folks either use MPI or GPU acceleration. Maybe
others on the list can offer more insights here.

This *ought* to be an environment where MPI shines with pmemd. I'm getting
a similar setup soon, and will look at timings.
