Shutting off the fft optimization produced the same results for 3.2.1. Then I tried running two simulations using version 3.3.1 with the optimized fft and they differed. Your response seemed to imply that the newer version should produce identical results. Could you clear this up for me?

Thank you,

Thanks a lot--that was it.

Hi,
Does anyone know what would cause a simulation to change if I run it a second time? I'm starting with an EM structure and just doing a quick 10 ps simulation. I've found that (in one case) the energies start to differ somewhere between step 200 and step 250--the Vir and Pres values differ first. I can't figure out what else besides gen_vel and gen_seed would give me different results. I'm running on the same system, same number of processors, etc. I'm pasting my .mdp below. I realize I'm probably overlooking something, but can anyone help me with this?
Thank you,
Jim Fonseca

Is this 3.2.1? The optimize_fft may make your simulations differ because, depending on timing, a different algorithm may be used. Change this flag to no and test again.
