Merging the Ada Compiler Evaluation Capability (ACEC) and the Ada Evaluation System (AES)

Abstract

This IDA Paper documents the results of a special analysis requested by the Ada Joint Program Office. The purpose of this analysis was to determine the feasibility and desirability of merging two separately developed software systems which can be used to expose compiler performance characteristics. The two systems were the Ada Compiler Evaluation Capability (ACEC) and the Ada Evaluation System (AES). The study itself consisted primarily of reviewing documents related to each system. In addition, it was necessary to load both systems and inspect test cases to determine the degree of overlap.
