[gmx-users] Reproducable MD runs on two PCs

Hello,
I am running MDs on a linux PC with OpenSuse, using:
mpirun -np 4 mdrun -v -dlb auto -reprod ....
If I repeat the calculation on the same PC, I get the same result. If I
change to another PC with RedHat I get a different result. More
specifically, I am calculating a deviation from experiment, which varies by
~20 % on changing operating systems (pretty much the same hardware on both
PCs). Is there any way to avoid such variations? I guess I am missing
something in the mdp file, which is:
cpp = /usr/bin/cpp -traditional
integrator = sd
tinit = 0
dt = 0.002
nsteps = 1000000
nstcomm = 1
nstcalcenergy = 1
nstxout = 5
nstvout = 100
nstlog = 100
nstenergy = 100
nstlist = 5
ns_type = grid
pbc = xyz
rlist = 0.9
optimize_fft = yes
coulombtype = pme
rcoulomb = 0.9
epsilon-r = 1
rvdw = 0.9
constraints = all-bonds
constraint-algorithm = Lincs
unconstrained-start = yes
lincs-warnangle = 30
tc_grps = System
tau_t = 0.1
ref_t = 300.0
Pcoupl = parrinello-rahman
tau_p = 2
compressibility = 4.5e-05
ref_p = 1.0
gen_vel = yes
gen_temp = 300.0
gen_seed = 173529
Many thanks for your help,
Igor
