Dear Colleagues,
I have just bought a very powerful Apple Studio with an Apple M1 Ultra ARM architecture.
Before trying to install VASP on it, I was wondering whether VASP is compatible with this kind of chip architecture.
Any advice would highly be appreciated!
Please, forgive me if this topic has been discussed before but I did not find it in the forum.
Many thanks,
Leonardo
Is VASP ready to run on ARM processors?

Re: Is VASP ready to run on ARM processors?
Dear Leonardo,
I have installed VASP on my Macbook Pro 2021 (M1 Pro chip) and ran it without any issues. All external libraries were installed with macports, but I am sure that it will also work if these are compiled by hand.
The following libraries were linked during the installation:
1) HDF5
2) FFTW3
3) OPENBlas
4) SCALAPACK
5) Wannier90
For compilers I used gcc10 and mpich, and libraries had openmp support. I include the makefile.include that I used.
Cheers,
Pedro Melo
