Directly Executed Languages.

Abstract

This work compared computer architectures by measuring the execution of an identical set of high level language programs. Comparative studies are difficult and expensive as they require an environment in which all the architectures can be analyzed on a common basis. Simulation has been used, but the slow speed makes it prohibitively long to collect a significant sample. Performance measures, such as the number of instructions, reflect not only architectural differences but factors (such as compilers) not related to the architecture. (Author)
