Hi, Maybe you can leverage some of the techniques outlined in: Robert W. Robey, Jonathan M. Robey, and Rob Aulwes. 2011. In search of numerical consistency in parallel programming. Parallel Comput. 37, 4-5 (April 2011), 217-229. DOI=10.1016/j.parco.2011.02.009 http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.parco

I am observing differences in floating-point results from an application program that appear to be related to whether I link with OpenMPI 1.4.3 or MVAPICH 1.2.0. Both packages were built with the same installation of Intel 11.1, as well as the application program; identical flags passed to the
