What is the correct result of MyFirstSnapShot__build.py?

[K68]

Hi Everyone,

I have a question of the tutorial.

Expected behavior

I can get same results from the same MyFirstSnapShot__build.py.

Actual behavior

I got two diffrent results from the same MyFirstSnapShot__build.py.

In Ubuntu22.04, python 3.11.3, kmcos=1.1.0, When I run the kmc_settings.py, I got the message.
Warning: kiwi Validation not working. (this warning is expected)
Using the [local_smart] backend.
1000000 steps took 0.36 seconds
Or 2.75e+06 steps/s

In Ubuntu18.04, python 3.6.7, kmcos=1.1.0, When I run the kmc_settings.py, I got the message.
Warning: kiwi Validation not working. (this warning is expected)
Using the [local_smart] backend.
1000000 steps took 2.75 seconds
Or 3.64e+05 steps/s

There is also a difference of the outlog of MyFirstSnapShot__build.py between two version.
Which is the correst result?

Thank you.

They are both correct.

(1) The time that it takes your computer to run a model is not a "correct" or "incorrect" result.

(2) In general, the KMC trajectory that you see when running the same model on two different computers will not be exactly the same, because there are variations in the random number generators used on different machines. [at least, for this code].  But they will both be correct trajectories.
