Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide a method for reducing load time of a program in a highly-parallelized or distributed computer. In one embodiment, this is accomplished by selectively reusing entries in a page table generated during a previous invocation of the program at a particular compute node of the highly-parallelized or distributed computer system.
Claims8
A method of loading a program on a computing system that includes multiple processing nodes, comprising:
- identifying, if available, a plurality of processing nodes that previously executed the program, wherein the program is associated with a computing job submitted for execution by the computing system;
- messaging each identified processing node to retain a page table associated with the previous execution of the program;
- and
- dispatching the computing job to the plurality of processing nodes.
