<> PERFORMANCE TESTING OF SOME ADA PROGRAMMING CONTRUCTS SRI is developing a packet switched network node, using the Ada programming language, and using the SUN Microsystem processor board as the target hardware, which contains a MC68000. We have run some timing measurements on specially written Ada test programs in order to determine how to optimally use tasking, rendevous, selects, and parameter passing, and also to make an early prediction on the packet-per-second throughput of the system. The test were compiled with the Telesoft Ada Compiler on a Diskless SUN Workstation, running UNIX 4.1c bsd. The workstation was configured with 2 megabytes of local memory, and only a single user was logged in. The results, along with the benchmarks, have been posted to net.sources. I got this from the EV-INFORMATION login on ECLB. Any questions? Don't ask me! regards, joe -- Full-Name: Joseph M.
