ADA Compiler Benchmarking: Initial Investigations
Abstract
This paper documents some initial investigations into the benchmarking of Ada compilers. A summary of available benchmarking suites is given, although only two of these suites were used in the initial benchmarking experiments: the ACM SIGAda Performance Issues Working Group benchmarks and the University of Michigan benchmarks. Experiences and lessons learned in applying these suites to the Alsys Ada compiler hosted on a Toshiba personal computer and to the DEC VAX Ada compiler hosted on a VAX 8300 are provided. Based on these initial benchmarking experiences, several areas of possible further research/ development are identified. In particular, the need for more advanced analysis tools is discussed. (cp)
