System and method for optimization of shared data

A data load optimization system, comprising:

• a compiler-generated linkage table that includes at least one unresolved data module accessible by a computer program;
• a load determination logic that determines a location of an unresolved data module at load time of the computer program using said compiler-generated linkage table;
• and
• a load modification logic that modifies the load instruction in the computer program to directly load the unresolved data module at the location at load time of the computer program
• wherein said compiler-generated linkage table is set at compiler time by a program compiler, and
• wherein a linker program includes said load determination logic and said load modification logic.

A system to optimize dynamic data loads in a computer program, comprising:

• compiler means for generating a linkage table for the computer program when a load instruction in the computer program loads an unresolved data module that is not in a same load module as the computer program;
• linking means for determining a location of the unresolved data module at the load time of the computer program using said linkage table;
• and
• linking means for modifying the load instruction at the load time of the computer program to directly load the unresolved data module at the location.

A computer readable medium for optimizing loading of shared data for a computer program, comprising:

• compiler logic that generates a linkage table for the computer program when a load instruction in the computer program loads an unresolved data module that is not in a same load module as the computer program;
• linking logic that determines a location of the unresolved data module at load time of the computer program using said linkage table;
• and
• linking logic that modifies the load instruction at the load time of the computer program to directly load the unresolved data module at the location.
