Thank you very much for the suggestions. I will look carefully for the 
convergence of my PMF to see if it is the problem.
Cheers,
Rebeca.

I am doing PMF calculations using Gromacs 3.3.3, and I have found very 
different results using 2 different machines.  Attached you can see that the 
graphics are really different for both cases (about 10 KJ/mol!!). The version 
of Gromacs (3.3.3) and number of processors used (2) is the same for both 
calculations. The .tpr files and all the starting files are identical for both 
calculations. The only thing that changes is the machine where they were 
carried out. 
I have checked the energy files for both cases, and they are different, but 
taking into account the stochastic effect, I suppose it is normal. There are 
slight differences in the energies in the step 0 for some of the windows (but 
in the 5th decimal number, so they should not be important, I suppose). Well 
this might be a problem but the 5th decimal is pretty far.
Any idea of the cause of the problem? Has anyone experienced similar problems? 
Any suggestion will be much appreciated.
Thanks a lot for your help, in advance.
the only thing you have left is that you have not sampled enought ... soyou 
have not reached convergence.Did you try to repeat the calculation on the ame 
machine changing the initial velocities ?
Cheers,
