It is mainly the OS version, yet, sometimes the same OS can run on very
different architectures (eg. on 32bit or 64 bit systems, or even tablets
and phones), which could affect results. Starting with Lion, OSX only
runs on 64 bit systems though.

Thank you for your reply.
Okay - so if i understand it correctly, then both the OS version and
the computer system (i.e processor) has to be the same.
What is the reason for the processer has to be the same?
Best regards,

Hi Kasper,
this is because you use two different version of the OS (each
coming with different sets of libraries). 11.4.2 is Lion from
2012. 13.4.0 is Mavericks from 2014.
You don't need to keep the computer fixed, but the OS should be
the same (= here same means same version) and the system (ie
processor).
Cheers, Martin

Dear freesurfer,
As i understand from a previous forum thread, it is recommended
that all the data is run on the same computer with the same
operating system.
However, what is the reason for the differing results when I am
running the same 10 subjects on a MacPro and iMac respectively
(please see below):
*MacPro:*
build-stamp.txt: freesurfer-Darwin-lion-stable-pub-v5.3.0
13.4.0 Darwin Kernel Version 13.4.0
*iMac: *
build-stamp.txt: freesurfer-Darwin-lion-stable-pub-v5.3.0
11.4.2 Darwin Kernel Version 11.4.2
All the values are different. For example, the
lh_caudalmiddlefrontal_thickness is on the iMac 2.472 and on the
MacPro 2.537.
Is it because of a randomization generator in FreeSurfer?
Best regards,
Kasper Jessen
