More details on scientific applications under Big Sur are here We expect that these final remaining issues will be addressed in the next CSD software release. The Aromatics Analyser component in the CSD-Materials menu of Mercury does not work on M1 Apple silicon based macs.The POV-Ray integration in Mercury for high-resolution graphics generation does not work on M1 Apple silicon based macs.At this point we are aware of just two specific known issues for the newer silicon hardware machines: We are pleased to report that the newly available 2020.3.1 CSD Release (only available on macOS) is fully supported on macOS Big Sur at point of release, both for Intel-based macs, as well as the newer M1 Apple silicon based macs. The full CSD software portfolio, including Mercury, ConQuest, Mogul, GOLD, CSD-CrossMiner, the CSD Python API and other components, has now been upgraded and tested for compatibility with Big Sur.
