Thank you all for the replies. Certainly optimization flags can be useful to address differences between compilers, etc. And differences in MPI_ALLREDUCE are appreciated as possible. But I don't think either is quite relevant because: - It was exact same compiler, with identical compilation fl

I've not been following closely. How do you know you're using the identical compilation flags? Are you saying you specify the same flags to "mpicc" (or whatever) or are you confirming that the back-end compiler is seeing the same flags? The MPI compiler wrapper (mpicc, et al.) can add flags.
