Can you give more details about your simulations-- GPU or CPU version,
number of cores?

There are several factors, including, but not limited to:

1. For GPU version, precision matters.

2. For CPU, different number of cores would give you different answers.
(Other causes would be if you used different compilers or different
optimization flag).
