There has been some work toward that goal, but it has not been a
priority: NMR structure calculation almost always involves an
ensemble of structures, and parallelizing molecular dynamics is a
difficult problem (which usually isn't very efficient). So, we think
that parallelization on the multi-structure level is most
appropriate. 

I would be interested in seeing what an auto-parallelizing compiler
could do, though, as this would require little effort on our part.
