This should not be happening, the results on 32 processors should be the
same as on 8 processors, at least for the first few hundred steps before
rounding differences start to cause divergence. However a big initial
difference like this suggests something very wrong. Can you send me your
structure and input files along with the mpi version and compiler version
that was used and I will see if I can replicate this.
All the best
Ross
