I would like to know what good/bad experiences users have had with shared
libraries? Are they appropriate for a research environment using C++ that
consists of lots of single user workstations and a central compute server?
Any serious performance hits? (Obviously, there are benefits at the OS
level for commonly-used commands.)
I currently have a set of 10 libraries distributed something like this:
Size: 205896 Heavy (All programs)
Size: 97576 ^
Size: 732310 |
Size: 145356 |
Size: 45406 Usage
Size: 668680 |
Size: 117300 |
Size: 46164 |
Size: 83052 v
Size: 125960 Light (Few programs)
and about 100 utilities that are run infrequently (a few times per
day). It seems to me the main benefit is to put heavily used stuff in
a shared library and leave the other stuff in a standard library. I am
worried about large programs having to resolve hundreds of references at
run-time and requiring a long time to startup and large amounts of
memory.
