I have a question regarding compatibility of processors and/or compilers with WRF. I want to run WRF on a machine using an ARM processor (Cortex-A9 MPCore). I'm using my personal computer to install/compile WRF to get used to everything and test. I have an Intel Xeon natively, but have both ifort and gfortran compilers. On the list of options when configuring WRF, ARM is not listed but several of the compilers are compatible with the ones listed. My question is does the processor have to be one of those listed? Or will it be suitable so long as the Fortran/C compilers are compatible with both the processor and the program? I'm no software engineer so any guidance is helpful.
