At the moment, NCL does not handle variables > 2Gb, regardless of the
host you are on. This is a limitation internal to NCL, based on
its current implementation.

That said, we have been working on upgrading NCL to be able to
address a variable > 2Gb. We have made good progress and hope to
present to users a version for testing very soon. Would you be
interested in helping us test?
