libHPC is a high-performance computing library focused on Linux and Windows environments. It provides SIMD-optimized kernels, concurrent data structures, GPU utilities, and HPC-oriented memory management components.
| Platform | Status |
|---|---|
| Linux (x86_64 / CUDA) | ✓ Supported |
| Windows (MSVC / CUDA) | ✓ Supported |
| macOS (Intel) | ✓ Supported, limited |
| macOS (Apple Silicon / ARM64) | ✗ Not supported |
libHPC does not support macOS ARM (Apple Silicon).
The reason is simple:
Apple’s recent macOS / Xcode toolchain updates introduced ABI changes in
libc++, causing oneTBB and other HPC components to fail at link-time.These issues do not occur on Linux or Windows, and they did not occur on older macOS versions.
Since the goal of libHPC is stable, reproducible high-performance computing, macOS ARM is excluded to avoid degraded reliability or performance.
If the Apple toolchain becomes ABI-stable again or TBB provides upstream fixes, support may be reconsidered in the future.
libHPC previously worked on macOS ARM.
However, new Xcode toolchains explicitly mark several libc++ ABI symbols as
forbidden (Xcode even shows a “prohibited symbol” icon), including
std::__1::__hash_memory, which oneTBB depends on.
Since these symbols are removed at the SDK level, the issue cannot be fixed in libHPC or by configuration changes. As a result, macOS ARM support has been formally dropped.
