[gmx-users] REMD problem

This works. Thanks a lot.

Currently I am running on an RNA molecule and I want to a 1 ns REMD
simulations with 50 temperatures,
would you please have a look at the following command "mpirun -np 50
mdrun_mpi -s md.tpr -multi 50 -replex 50". Is this right?
How to choose the numbers for np, multi or replex?

Is the simulation time still set in the mdp file with nsteps and dt? e.g.
nsteps = 500000 and dt = 0.002 to run a 1ns simulation?

Any helps will be highly appreciated.
