SNAP results vary across 4 PCs – hardware or cache issue?

snap

Hi everyone,

I’m seeing variability in SNAP image processing results when running the same analysis across 4 PCs with different configurations:

•	**PC 1:** 32 GB RAM, 20 processors – stable results

•	**PC 2:** 16 GB RAM, 16 processors – same results like PC1

•	**PC 3:** 16 GB RAM, 16 processors – different results. I saw cache files in temp folder

•	**PC 4:** 16 GB RAM, 12 processors – different results. No cache files

I suspect the differences may be related to hardware configuration, system load, or SNAP cache files.

Is this variability expected in SNAP, and are there best practices to ensure reproducible results across systems?

Thanks!
