[CP2K-user] [CP2K:16226] Strange shifts in pressure/stresses after restart of NVT simulations

Dear All,

I have been running AIMD (NVT) simulations for a mixture of organic 
solvents. In between the calculations, I had to change to a different HPC 
centre to continue with my project. 

I have noticed something strange after restarting the simulations (see 
figure below).

So far, T, KE, PE, CQ, etc., look fine for my system, but not the 
stresses/pressures. I am not sure what the source of these shifts could be 
when I change to a different cluster. Below I include the initial values 
taken from the restart file for initializing the MD (I used various 
versions of CP2K with the same restart file to check for inconsistencies)

I plan to use the energies, forces and stresses for training (virial) and 
validating (thermal stresses) a machine learning potential, so I wonder which 
of the three possibilities for the stresses/pressures is correct and if you 
have any idea about these shifts.

I have also included the restart file in case you want to have a look at 
it. 

Thanks in advance for your comments.
