Is suchomimus and baryonyx the same?

I can't figure out if suchomimus and baryonyx are the same animal. From what I gather they aren't, but does anyone here know?

Suchomimus comes from the aptian/albian age of Niger while Baryonyx comes from the barremian age of the UK.  Both are  baryonychines so they share some characteristics but are different.

No, they are not the same. Closely related, yes.
Suchomimus is most closely related to Riparovenator and Ceratosuchops.
