Hi All!

In the latest user documentation, it says that running the 'nwchem' command does sequential execution:
http://nwchemgit.github.io/index.php/Release65:Running

However, when running the nwchem command, I'm noticing that multiple processes (multiple PIDs) are being spawned from a single command. Does this mean that multithreading is enabled by default? See screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/pMRar

If so, then is there any benefit to running nwchem on a single node (my desktop computer) with MPI or TCGMSG?

Best,
Thomas
