Define "comparable". If you mean are they sampling the same thermodynamic
ensemble, then the answer is yes if you used the same algorithms. If you
mean are they numerically identical, the answer is no. Round-off errors
from different order of summation, etc. will cause tiny differences that
magnify chaotically.
