Dear Mark, Thanks for the pages. Now it is clear to me that because the shared libraries maybe are not identical during compilation, I am getting different value for energies.
However, I have to perform single point energy calculation for a lot of structure and the only thing that I care about is the energy difference. I have checked the energy difference that I get in different computers ... casue I thought that maybe the difference is identical. However this is not the case as well ... May I have your comment about it? E2-E1(computer1)= 83801.086088 E2-E1(computer2)= 8366.248918 As you see the order of magnitude is even different ! Could you please help me to understand this better Thanks Fahimeh On Fri, Apr 19, 2013 at 9:01 AM, Mark Abraham <mark.j.abra...@gmail.com>wrote: > On Apr 19, 2013 2:50 PM, "Fahimeh Baftizadeh" < > fahimeh.baftiza...@googlemail.com> wrote: > > > > Hi thanks for your reply, and sorry to be late since I am living 9 hours > > behind you :) > > > > I tried but still I get different energies.
