Comment (by knarf):
That would be nice indeed. However, it would require a bit of infrastructure, especially on simfactory scripts. One issue with a 'split' executable would be that all libraries would need to be accessible on the compute nodes, so simfactory would need to copy them into the job directories and use these (also for consistency reasons). In addition, for startup of large jobs it is usually good to "pre-load" the executable into memory before starting the job. This would also need to be done for all libraries, which isn't that difficult but would need to be done.
We should have at least the library-copy in place before we enable this. There might be other issues as well, but I cannot think of something else right now.
