 ==== Step 0: make based testing ====
-  * If you are able to build and run cp2k on the local machine the easiest way is to start the regtesting by running ''make ARCH=... VERSION=... test''
+  * If you are able to build and run cp2k on the local machine the easiest way is to start the regtesting by running ''make ARCH=... VERSION=... test''. The options listed in Step 2 can also be specified with ''make'' via ''TESTOPTS+=<options>'', e.g. ''TESTOPTS+="-mpiranks 4 -ompthreads 4"'' requires 4 MPI ranks and 4 OpenMP threads for each MPI rank.
   * Be careful about the value of ''-j'' parameter you will use; running too many tests in parallel can cause tests to fail due to lack of system and/or GPU memory.
   * If this fails (e.g. on batch systems), continue with Step 1 else go to interpretation.
