Hi Olivier,

It is not entirely your question, but:

In general, there is no parallel processing in Modeller, mainly because the lion share of each run is an MD simulation. Therefore executing modeller on multiple platform means simply to submit many jobs. That is what automated in Enfuzion, but many free scheduling software will do the same. (this is particularly useful in case of loop modeling or modeling many proteins in a family or in a genome).

with respect to you:

free batch processing softwares: there are many of them like NQS, PBS, CODINE etc. after doing some search I found this summary page http://www.cmpharm.ucsf.edu/~srp/batch/systems.html

I guess, it is a good starting point, but it is not necessarily the best possible link.
