How to run PSUD on macOS or Linux/ARM?

 

Hello
?
Looking for ways to make PSUD work on my Apple computer (M1 chip). I am running macOS or Linux (in a virtual ARM machine).
?
Thanks for any hints or ideas!
 

Parallels should work.? I used it for this purpose several years ago, though not since.?

Hi,
?
I'm afraid PSUD2 won't currently work on the M1 processor (or any other ARM derivative). I was looking at exploring ARM support for PSUD3, however it would be subject to some performance testing to see if ARM-HF is viable - PSUD is very math intensive, so it may end up being a non-starter.
?
Here's the current offering for PSUD2:
?
OS Target Support
Windows 32 bit or? 64 bit supporting 32 bit Supported
MacOS x86 based Deprecated
?
And future plans for PSUD3:
?
OS Target Support
Windows i386 or x86-64 Future planned
Linux i386 or x86-64 Future under investigation
Linux ARM-HF Possible depending on performance
?
Regards,
Duncan

As Duncan posted here recently- get cheap Windows machine. It may not be the answer you wanted, but it may be expedient.

I've bought 5 mini PCs since August, two cost real money, however three of them have been bargain basement "Celeron" type machines going for GBP ?149 with 500GB solid state drive and 16GB of DDR memory. At today's rates, that's USD $187 a piece pre-loaded with Windows 11 and they run great out of the box.


For single-threaded stuff like PSUD they are still over 50% of the speed of a Core i9 machine costing 6 times the price. Computing has never been cheaper in real terms :)

You can probably get a perfectly good machine at a thrift store.
It might take a bit of legwork, but great bargains are available.

True. I did. An H-P commercial/office PC on Win10. It runs. Slowly because I have been spoiled by SSDs. It is HEAVY (that office heritage) and hard to work in. Even free they (she had a dozen) was not attractive.

These odd-brand Asian PCs are cheaper than a good anniversary dinner, more than speedy enough for PSUD.
 

AND you can stick in an SSD to make it a screamer for very little DoReMi...
