Re: [AMBER] Random seed reproducibility

Hi,

You're using a different GPU in the second case (GTX 1060 vs GTX 1080
in the first case). Try to reproduce the results on one or the other
(i.e. run the same calculation on the same GPU twice) - they should be
the same. If they aren't, that could indicate you have a faulty GPU
(at least from a computational standpoint).
