R in Windows 11 ARM (in Parallels)

?
Hi,

A couple of things to add:

1. You might find a more focused audience for this question on r-sig-mac:

? https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-mac

given the cross-platform nature of the query, while running R and Parallels/Windows 11 on Apple silicon.

2. My understanding is that x64 (Intel 64 bit) emulation is relatively immature running under Windows 11 ARM, even on native Windows targeted ARM hardware, much less on Apple silicon. It was just announced last November, in contrast to 32 bit Intel emulation on ARM, which has been around somewhat longer. Thus, the additional layer of running Windows 11 ARM under Parallels on Apple silicon may be a confounding issue.

As a result, you might also consider posting to Parallels' own support forums to get a sense from them as to the current nature of their support and any known issues running x64 apps in their VM, under Windows 11 ARM. There may be nuances to the required configuration to get 64-bit R for Windows running under that combination of characteristics.

Regards,

Marc Schwartz
