ADA Compiler Evaluation Capability User's Guide, Release 2.0

Abstract

This document is the User' Guide for the Ada Compiler Evaluation Capability (ACEC) Software Product. The purpose of this document is to guide the user in running the ACEC benchmark programs and the assessors on a new system and to aid the user in preparing reports summarizing the results. For help in interpreting these findings, refer to the Reader's Guide. This guide will give ACEC user the information necessary to adapt and execute the ACEC Software Product. It explains how to use the support tools, and how to deal with the problems which can occur in the process of executing the ACEC test suite. The ACEC Software Product consists of two Computer Software Configuration Items (CSCIs): (1) The operational software, which consists of a suite of performance test programs, and sets of compilation units and script files to exercise and assess a compilation system's symbolic debugger, program library manager, and diagnostic messages; and (2) The support tools, which assist the ACEC user in preparing the test suite for compilation, in extracting data from the results of executing the test suite, and in analyzing the performance measurements obtained.
