reproducing CAM4 1.9x2.5 FAMIP simulations

[eswenso1@gmu_edu]

Is it possible to reproduce (bit-by-bit) CAM4 1.9x2.5 FAMIP simulations (using cesm1_2_0) that I made prior on Bluefire (using ccsm4_0)?
1)  Do machine differences in computing allow this?2) I understand I cannot initialize using initial conditions produced by CAM4 (using ccsm4_0) - is this correct?  Is there a way around this?

You won't be able to reproduce bit for bit on yellowstone the simaultiosn you started on bleufire.

I am not not sure I understand the question "I understand I cannot initialize using initial conditions produced by CAM4 (using ccsm4_0) - is this correct?". Are you trying to use restart produced by CCSM4 to initialize CESM1.2. Or is it something different ? Please could you clarify ? Thanks.

Ok - that actually settles my issue.  Yes, your statement is correct - I really needed to use restart files produced by CCSM4 to initiialize CESM1.2, which I've read is only possible with a hybrid initialization.
