Well,
I have used the option -rerun to 'rerun' on CPU the simulation from the parallel code. As you can see in the following tables, results are very similar for non bonded terms, but not for the other energetic terms (these are avereges obtained from g_energy):

PARALLEL CODE
Angle:     4256.27
Prop-di:   322.302
R-B:       3101.14
LJ-14:      2107.6
Coul-14:     15212
LJ(SR):   -3410.22
Coul(SR): -29368.3
RF(excl): -9425.23
Pot.En:   -17204.5
Kin.En:    5243.87
Tot.En:   -11960.6

SERIAL CODE:
Angle:     6089.56
Prop-di:   466.121
R-B:       3677.95
LJ-14:     2234.85
Coul-14:   15149.8
LJ(SR):      -3144
Coul(SR): -29240.7
RF(excl): -9425.25
Pot.En:   -14191.7
Kin.En:    8262.96
Tot.En:   -5929.78

I can't use the -reprod option, but I have noticed that the .gro files after the energy minimization are very similar (I have performed this minimization on the .gro files obtained running the parallel and serial codes)...systems are converging to the same equilibrium ensamble?

I'm thankful for your help,
Giulia

I dont'know if this is the right way to test that things converge to the same value...but I have made an energy minimization on CPU of the two output (parallel and serial). I have obtained this results:

FROM PARALLEL OUTPUT
Potential Energy = -1.6960029e+04
Maximum force = 1.7282695e+03 on atom 364
Norm of force = 4.6171844e+02

FROM SERIAL OUTPUT
Potential Energy = -1.7814945e+04
Maximum force = 2.1551072e+03 on atom 496
Norm of force = 2.9537823e+02

They're probably both fine. By "converged" I was referring to an equilibrium MD ensemble.
