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.

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.
