Performance Considerations on Context Loading, Overhead of small context files.

ChristophK

I've around 50 skill context files. Each represents some logical unit and is fairly small (50-500kB). However, user typically has to load all of them before start working. According to "Delivering Products" section context files shall be small, e.g. less than 5 MB. Still I wonder if there any implication on execution speed or moreover on startup time if I would create one large context file out of it. The rationale would be to reduce the overhead of resolving dependencies to other contexts.

Thanks for your advice.

  • That note about context size is outdated (I'll send some feedback that it should be removed) since probably at least IC6.1.4 - some of the Cadence contexts are definitely larger. I don't think you should be concerned about the performance and if anything it would be better than separately loading 50 small context files.
