Nyberg@ADA20.ISI.EDU (Karl Nyberg) (09/14/86)
Given the emphasis on benchmarking in the director's letter in the
latest issue of the Ada IC Newsletter (Vol IV, # 3), I have made the
following suites of benchmarks available (via anonymous FTP) on Ada20:
Prototype ACEC: ps:<info-ada.acectools> & ps:<info-ada.aceccode>
The acectools subdirectory contains the necessary tools for
database creation and reporting. The aceccode subdirectory
contains the suite of test programs.
SigAda Performance Issues Working Group (PIWG): ps:<info-ada.piwg>
The piwg subdirectory contains a release of the PIWG benchmark
tools and programs. This directory will be updated shortly,
when I receive the next release of the PIWG benchmarks.
Package_Architect's Implementation: ps:<info-ada.pai>
The pai subdirectory contains the tools in the PAI package for
identifying implementation-defined system characteristics.
The suites are oriented for the VAX / UNIX environment with the Verdix
Ada Development System (since that's what I have), so some modifications
for other systems may be necessary. Many started out under the VAX /
VMS environment with the DEC Ada compiler, and instructions for running
the suites in that environment have been retained where available. I'll
be glad to answer whatever questions I can.
Challenge for the experts (who don't already know the answer): one of
the prototype ACEC programs is an erroneous program - which one, and
why?
