Abstract
A method for loading shared libraries. The method includes receiving an indication of a requirement to load the shared library into the virtual memory and determining that the shared library is a candidate for using shared large pages. Further, the method includes, in response to the determination, storing a text section of the shared library in a shared large page of the virtual memory and storing a data section of the shared library in a page of the virtual memory, where the virtual memory is mapped to a physical memory of the computer, where, within an address space of the virtual memory, a starting address of the text section of the shared library is separated from a starting address of the data section of the shared library by a predefined distance, and where the predefined distance is larger than a size of the large page.
