调研方向
首先在仓库中定位容器构建配置、CI 定义和安装文档。检查当前有哪些依赖项和工作流假定使用 AMD64/x86_64，并确定是否可行提供部分 ARM64 支持。完成的标准是：有文档说明 ARM64 安装方式、已验证的多架构镜像，以及对受支持 ARM64 工作流的 CI 覆盖。

描述
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
eic-shell currently runs only through AMD64/x86_64 container images. On Apple Silicon systems (ARM64/aarch64), this requires emulation (Rosetta/QEMU), which significantly reduces performance during CPU-intensive workflows such as npsim and especially eicrecon.
For large-scale reconstruction campaigns with background mixing enabled, the slowdown becomes substantial and limits usability on modern ARM64 laptops and workstations.
I understand that much of the HEP and detector simulation ecosystem has historically targeted AMD64/x86_64 platforms, and that some dependencies may still be architecture-specific. However, it may already be possible to support at least part of the software stack natively on ARM64.
Describe the solution you'd like
Provide native ARM64/aarch64 support for eic-shell, including:
- ARM64 container images
- multi-architecture Docker builds (linux/amd64 and linux/arm64)
- CI validation on Apple Silicon and/or ARM64 Linux
- documentation for ARM-native installation and execution
Ideally, users on Apple Silicon Macs should be able to run eic-shell natively without requiring x86 emulation.
Even partial ARM64 compatibility for selected components would already be very valuable.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Current alternatives include:
- running through Rosetta/QEMU emulation on macOS
- using remote x86_64 servers or clusters
- manually rebuilding dependencies for ARM64
However, these approaches either introduce large performance penalties or significantly increase setup complexity.
Additional context
On Apple Silicon systems, workflows involving:
- background overlay,
- npsim,
- and especially eicrecon
can become substantially slower under x86 emulation.
Native ARM64 support would improve:
- developer experience,
- portability,
- battery efficiency,
- and local reconstruction performance for EIC software users on modern hardware platforms.
