I tried running this again (this time not in parallel).

Interestingly, I got significantly different results for pmemd and sander.
I run 10 steps of simulation and this is what I got (below). I checked that
..rst .in and .prmtop files are the same. The only difference was that I
ran these in two different clusers (pmemd in TSCC and sander in Harvard
Orchestra).

 Step 1 using sander:

 NSTEP = 1 TIME(PS) = 90.002 TEMP(K) = 299.13 PRESS =
0.0

 Etot = -238642.5964 EKtot = 73013.5247 EPtot =
-311656.1211

 BOND = 418.8091 ANGLE = 1103.1341 DIHED =
1624.5376

 1-4 NB = 536.1276 1-4 EEL = 8158.4711 VDWAALS =
17142.4812

 EELEC = -289239.4141 EHBOND = 0.0000 RESTRAINT =
0.0000

 EPOLZ = -51400.2677

 Dipole convergence: rms = 0.364E-04 temperature = 0.00

 ------------------------------------------------------------------



Step 1 using pmemd:



 NSTEP = 1 TIME(PS) = 90.002 TEMP(K) = 299.04 PRESS =
0.0

 Etot = -186990.7423 EKtot = 72992.1028 EPtot =
-259982.8451

 BOND = 418.8091 ANGLE = 1103.1341 DIHED =
1624.5376

 1-4 NB = 536.1276 1-4 EEL = 8158.4711 VDWAALS =
17142.4812

 EELEC = -288966.4058 EHBOND = 0.0000 RESTRAINT =
0.0000

 Ewald error estimate: 0.4460E-06
