User's Manual for the Prototype Ada (Trademark) Compiler Evaluation Capability (ACEC). Version 1.

Abstract

The purpose of the Prototype Ada Compiler Evaluation Capability (ACEC) is to provide users with 1) an organized suite of compiler performance tests, and 2) support software for executing these tests and collecting performance statistics. These performance tests were collected by the Ada Evaluation and Validation (E&V) Team from several sources. The test programs, which have been in the public domain for some time, have been organized as a test suite according to categories which are explained in Section II. The strategy for measuring test performance and obtaining differential statistics is described in Section III. Section IV describes the entire support software architecture, including machine-dependent modules. General instructions for executing the Prototype ACEC are provided in Section V.
