Ada Compiler Evaluation Capability (ACEC) Final Technical Report Release 3.0
Abstract
This is the Final Technical Report for the ACEC Release 3.0. The first release of the ACEC program developed a Software Product consisting of a suite of benchmark test programs, support tools, a Reader's Guide, a User's Guide, and a Version Description Document (VDD). The second release of the ACEC corrected problems found in the first release; approximately 300 new performance tests, assessors for program library systems, symbolic debuggers, and system diagnostics, a new tool to simplify the preparation of input to MEDIAN, and a Single System Analysis (SSA) tool; and upgraded supporting documentation to permit a user to assess the performance of Ada compilation systems. The third release of the ACEC significantly improves usability and coverage. It adds: (1) A systematic Pretest phase which guides the user through the adaptation necessary to run the ACEC on a new compilation system and the recording of the choices made for later reference; (2) The user documentation has been enhanced, and provides more information to simplify execution of the ACEC and interpretation of the results; (3) The sample command files have been modified in order to simplify the effort required to adapt to other Ada compilation systems; and (4) New performance tests have been added, including test problems.
