geometry optimization unstable

Dear all,
                I am doing geometry optimization of a system containing 576 
atoms. When i ran it a machine having intel X5460 processor, i didn't see 
any oscillations in total energies. It converges within some steps. But, 
the same system shows oscillations on different machine (intel X5670 
processor).

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

I  used same Makefile on both architectures (Intel compilers 12.1).  I 
tried with different optimization levels, but this too didn't help. And 
also, it's not scaling more than one node on this machine. (each node 
contains 12 processors).

Do anybody faced similar problem ?  Any help in this regard is greatly 
appreciated.

Regards,
Sandeep
