Can I use MCNP on ARM devices?

[Nikel]

TL;DR

I’m a first-year Physics student planning to learn MCNP this summer and looking for a new laptop. Since MCNP is made for x86 processors, I'm trying to find out if it has native ARM support, or if there are reliable workarounds to run it smoothly on an ARM-based laptop. I'm asking here assuming this is the best place to find MCNP users who might have faced the same issue.

Hello everyone,

As a freshman Physics student, I plan to learn MCNP and improve my skills in this field over the summer break. This might not be the ideal place to ask, but I am currently looking for a laptop that can smoothly run MCNP for this purpose.

My main question is regarding the architecture compatibility: since the program is natively compiled for x86 processors, what are my options for running it on an ARM-based laptop? Alternatively, does MCNP offer native support for ARM-based systems?

As I mentioned at the beginning, this might not be the exact forum for such a query, but I wanted to ask here because I assume this is where MCNP users are most likely to be concentrated. I am hoping someone who has encountered a similar dilemma or found a workaround could share their insights.

Thank you in advance for your help!
