Jeff Bezanson - What's the deal with Julia binary sizes?
Ғылым және технология
Abstract:
If you have tried to produce a compiled library or application with PackageCompiler.jl, you may have been disappointed by the size of the resulting artifact. In this talk I will explain where all the bytes come from, and what we have done and continue to do to remove as many as possible. Fortunately sizes have been going down over time, and we have added some tools you can use now to reduce sizes further. I will briefly show how to use them.
Contents
00:00 Introduction
00:21 The function we'll compile with package compiler
01:23 Fora function that just does addition, the size is 901 MB (with Julia 1.6 based PkgCompiler)
02:43 Quick aside, sometimes binaries are just big cause they include a lot of things (hint, our binary has a lot too)
04:00 Specialization means big binaries
05:23 Exactly why is our package (sys image) so big?
06:42 Shrink ray time
11:22 Summary of our journey to get to 50MB from 900
16:14 The guide on how to shrink your thingamajig the same way
17:21 What's left in our sys image?
18:46 The Julia base library is kinda big
20:45 Reflection creates obstacles for reducing size of the binary
21:50 Oh, c'mon!
23:23 Roadmap
28:10 That's it for the slides
28:30 Q&A starts
S/O to @conradwiebe7919 for the video timestamps!

I always enjoy Jeff Bezanson's talks.

Thank you. We tweak your timestamps a bit and add the to the video description.

This is the most compelling reason I see for Julia 2.0. Shrink Base. Refactor it to minimize the core language, and put other features in packages. It would also help with maintainability and technical debt. I hope eventually we get there. May take several years, though.

I mean - In how many years do you think we'll get Julia 2.0 with all the native compilation candy's?
Great talk! Can you please detail how to remove LLVM from the geneerated lib ?

OK, I just realized it's just deleting it from the lib directory... 🤦
21:50 😂
so you went from "omg, that's bananas!" to "oh nelly, that's bloated!"
Merci d'avoir fourni un, Matlab like, riche outil gratuit..
If nothing useful is exported from the toy example, shouldn't the compiler just be able to make it all a noop?
