Hillsboro, Ore., Jan. 18, 1989 -- BiiN(tm), the worldwide supplier of
mission-critical computing systems, announced today the validation of its
Ada compiler under ACVC Version 1.10.
ACVC Version 1.10 represents a significant advance in the testing of
system-dependent features required for system-level programming, most of
which are specified in Chapter 13 of the Ada Language Reference Manual.
BiiN's Ada compiler passed all the required tests, making BiiN the first to
validate under ACVC 1.10 in the continental U.S.
BiiN's enhanced compiler technology enabled the validation tests to be
compiled and run in an unusually short time: only 2 hours, 45 minutes, or
less than one fifth of the average validation time reported by the AVF.
In addition to providing true multi-tasking in a multi-processor
environment, BiiN's compiler includes state-of-the-art, Ada-specific
optimizations (e.g., redundant constraint elimination and compile time
elaboration) that contribute to fast execution of the generated code.
Compiling at a rate of more than 4,000 lines per minute, BiiN's Ada
compiler is one of the fastest available.
The BiiN Ada compiler runs on the BiiN 20 and BiiN 60, two recently
announced systems designed for mission-critical computing applications.
The BiiN Operating System (BiiN/OS(tm)), its tools and utilities, and the
BiiN Ada compiler consist of approximately two million lines of Ada code.
Based in Hillsboro, Oregon, BiiN is a worldwide supplier of
mission-critical computing systems.
