[gpaw-users] Regarding 'RuntimeError: Atoms objects on different processors are not identical!'

I recently changed something having to do with that part.  You could try
with trunk.  Which version are you using?

After the change, when the code runs the check it will allow for an error
of 1e-8 (approx. square root of machine precision), then simply use the
positions from the master process if it doesn't raise the error.

Best regards
