Without having more information (such as your mdin file), I have to make
guesses.
One common situation is to use ntt=3 and the default value of ig (which is
-1). This combination will use a different random number generator for each
run, leading (by design) to different results. It is generally recommended
that you indeed run repeated simulations in this manner, as a simple check
on reproducibility and convergence.
A second (perhaps less common) situation arises if you have irest=0 and
tempi > 0.
Third possibility: you are running parallel simulations on a CPU.
If none of these apply to you, we will need more information.
