Ada Compiler Evaluation Capability

Abstract

The Ada Compiler Evaluation Capability (ACEC) is a set of over 1500 performance and usability tests used to assess the quality of Ada compilers. The ACEC also provides statistical analysis tools to assist in analyzing the results generated by the ACEC. The ACEC is documented through three major documents; the ACEC Reader's Guide, the ACEC User's Guide and the ACEC Version Description Document. This document, the ACEC Reader's Guide, describes how ACEC users can interpret the results of executing the ACEC, the statistical significance of the numbers produced, the organization of the test suite, how to find particular language features and/or specific optimizations, and how to submit error reports and change requests.
