Ada Compiler Performance Test Suite and Test Evaluation Capability (ACPS) User's Guide

Abstract

The purpose of this document is to describe the set of software tests which is designed to assist users in evaluating the performance of run-time environments provided by Ada compilation systems. The Ada computer programs, primarily designed and written at The Aerospace Corporation, and augmented by JOVIAL and FORTRAN benchmarks, provide tools to display the results of test executions and comparisons among the three languages. Output from the tests includes compile-time and run-time statistics, such as elapsed time, CPU time, code and data sizes, and virtual and physical memory usage. This document describes how to (a) install the test suite, (b) set up the test environment, (c) execute the tests, and (d) compare the test results for executions on different compilers or for those on the same compiler using different compilation options.
