Grid engine and shared libraries


My question is: If I have an executable that requires some libs, then do I have to install these libs to all the nodes of the grid, or is there a way to install the libs on one node and then share to all the others?

Thank you in advance.


Solution

  • If all your nodes run the same system (same architecture, version etc.), you should be able to store the libs on a shared drive. Note that reading the libs frequently from a shared location might impact speed of the executables.
