Hi,
  I just compiled gromacs 4.5.4 in a cluster. But, I find that if I try to
make use of threading introduced in gromacs 4.5.x series, it does not work.
  After issuing command like mdrun -v -s , I expected that for my 8-core
processor which is not running any other jobs, the threading will show one
job with 800 % cpu usage. But, it is showing 100 % cpu usage hence using
only 1 of the 8 processors. I was wondering whether there is any command
mdrun -t number_of_processors

No, mdrun -nt will specify a number of processors, but I have never heard of any system where the default (0 meaning to guess) does not lead to a correct result.

line I need to use to ensure the gromacs understands that there is 8
processors in a core and force make full use of the entire machine.
I have tried the same thing in another different cluster where I found that
threading works with showing 800 % cpu usage . But, for this cluster , the
threading does not work.
and make sure during your compile process, enable --threads

configure --enable-threads works, but this is enabled by default.

Any help will be appreciated.
