FYI: If you are planning to run single-node, you don't need MPI. Just compile with default settings and you'll get a thread-parallel version that supports MPI parallelization within mdrun based on multi-threading (using the library thread-MPI). In practice his means that: $ mdrun -nt 2 will use two CPU cores and if you omit the -nt option it will use all cores available.
