Re: [gmx-users] what is the "nicelevel" ?

[Linus Östberg]

The nicelevel is simply the priority of the process, where 19 is the
lowest priority (ie most other programs will use the cpu before the
gromacs process does) and -20 the highest.

See man nice.

Google is your friend here.

would like to increase the decimal places (the default 
is 3) of all numbers. Thanks. 



All numbers?  In what way?  Are you still talking about genbox?  I guess that 
would apply to -vdwd and -shell.  You can set as many decimal places as you 
like, but you're limited in the end by the precision in which Gromacs was 
compiled as to how many actually matter.
