Ada Performance Benchmarks on the Motorola MC68020: Summary and Results. Version 1.0

Abstract

This report documents the results obtained from running the ACM sigada Performance Issues Working Group (PIWG) and the University of Michigan Ada performance benchmarks on a Motorola MC68020 microprocessor (MVME133 VMEmodule Monobard Microcomputer), using the Systems Designers Ada-Plus, the TeleSoft TeleGen2, and the VERDIX VAX/VMS hosted cross-compilers. A brief description of the benchmarks and the test environment is followed by a discussion of some problems encountered and lessons learned. Wherever possible, the output of each benchmark program is also included. The benchmarking/ instrumentation subgroup was formed to: 1) Collect and run available Ada benchmark programs from a variety of sources on 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.
