Thanks, dac! The outputs indicate different nodes (v006 and v011) but the same type of GPU (Tesla V100-SXM2-32GB). I’ve run a great deal of additional calculations and this issue happens very rarely. When I get a chance, I’ll do your suggested test of sending many repeats of this job to v006 and v011 to see how reproducible is the problem.

Best,
Matthew
