[gmx-users] RMSD reproducibility

Dear Gromacs Users,

I have the following question:

Suppose I repeat a simulation, keeping everything exactly the same.
What will happen to RMSD? Will it be exactly same with the previous run?
If not, then how much variation is expected?

To check this, I ran two independent simulations:
1) upto t=100ns using 216 processors and
2) upto t=200ns using 432 processors.
Everything else were kept unchanged!

The calculated RMSD for upto t=100ns was quite different.
Am I doing something  wrong? Please explain.

Regards
Biplab.
