The FlexEM protocol has not been designed to run in parallel. However,
if you have multiple systems to model you could run multiple copies of
FlexEM simultaneously (in different directories) to get the same effect.
I tried for example the following script. It runs. Nevertheless only one
CPU is used.
The parallel framework distributes tasks between available processors.
Each task uses a single processor - tasks are not split across
processors. In your script you only queue a single task, so only one of
your two CPUs is used. If you queue two or more tasks, both CPUs will be
utilized.
