Reproducing the bitwise identical .rpd files in Quartus

Hello all,

I have a verified FPGA design with the programming files of .sof, .pof, .jic and .rpd. I have to reproduce the bitwise identical .rpd file by compiling the design in a different PC.

The original design files were generated by using Quartus Prime Version 18.1.1 Build 646 04/11/2019. Now, I compile the same design with the identical Quartus Version and Build number. Even though settings of fitter and analysis & synthesis are identical, newly generated .rpd file is different than the reference .rpd file.

I attached the screenshots of the settings that I use in the Quartus.

1- How can I sure that there is no difference in terms of functionality and timing?
2- Is there a way to generate bitwise identical .rpd file?

Thank you in advance.

Regards,
Alpay
