Ada Performance Benchmarks on the MicroVAX II: Summary and Results. Version 1.0.

Abstract

This report documents the results obtained from running the University of Michigan and the ACM SIGAda Performance Issues Working Group (PIWG) Ada performance benchmarks on a DEC VAXELN MicroVAX II using the DEC VAXELN Ada compiler. A brief description of the benchmarks and the test environment is followed by a discussion of some problems encountered and lessons learned. The output of each benchmark program is also included. The primary purpose of the Ada Embedded Systems Testbed (AEST) Project at the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) is to develop a solid in-house support base of hardware, software, and personnel to permit the investigation of a wide variety of issues related to software development for real-time embedded systems. The benchmarking/instrumentation subgroup was formed to: 1) Collect and run available Ada benchmark programs from a variety of sources on a variety of targets; 2) Identify gaps in the coverage and fill them with new test programs; 3) Review the measurement techniques used and provide new ones if necessary; and 4) Verify software timings by inspection and with specialized test instruments.
