Hi Reina, Note that CaDrA results on Mac ARM64 are also affected: https://bioconductor.org/checkResults/devel/bioc-mac-arm64-LATEST/CaDrA/ See Martin Grigorov's blog post here https://blog.bioconductor.org/posts/2023-06-09-debug-linux-arm64-on-docker/ for how to debug Linux ARM64 related issues on a x86_64 host. Note that different architectures use slightly different floating point arithmetic with slightly different precision. This can affect the results of your numerical calculations. The degree to which they are affected will vary greatly depending on what calculations you perform and how you perform them. So it's important to implement things in a way that tries to minimize the impact of these variations as much as possible.
See https://go.dev/ref/spec#Floating_point_operators for some further explanation of the problem and possible fix by explicit rounding (in Golang, but I guess something similar happens in R)

Hi Bioconductor Core Team, I?m the maintainer of CaDrA package, and recently, I notice that my
package built successfully for all platforms except on Kunpeng2 Linux machine (seehttps://bioconductor.org/checkResults/devel/bioc-LATEST/CaDrA/ andhttps:// bioconductor.org/checkResults/devel/bioc-LATEST/CaDrA/kunpeng2-checksrc.html )
I did try to figure out what is causing the different results using this
particular platform compare with others but with no resolves.
Hope you can give me some guidance or feedback of why the build is
failing for this particular case.
Thanks so much!
Best,
Reina C.
