Our Journey Through the Perils of AOT Compilation

We followed AOT capabilities of Julia closely since very early, i.e., Julia in v0.3 as this is one of the crucial capabilities for a commercial product development. Recently there was a useful article written by Viral which guided us through the AOT compilation process. After some trials we successfully managed to compile our Julia source code and put it in the production. Moreover, we enhanced the original scripts to make the compilation process smoother and enabled its automation. We would like to share our journey through this entire mission in detail covering compilation on Linux and Windows too. We shall also take into account performance comparisons of JIT compiled routines to their AOT versions.
