“…The prototype Ada Compiler Evaluation Capability (ACEC) test suite was run on the Rational Environment. The Institute for Defense Analysis (IDA) developed the test suite from public domain software, and the suite and its use is described in IDA PAPER P-1879, User's Manual for the Prototype Ada Compiler Evaluation Capability (ACEC) Version 1, by Audrey A. Hook, Gregory A. Riccardi, Michael Vilot, and Stephen Welke (see [1]). Numeric results from running the ACEC suite, problems with the suite detected by the Rational Environment, and some tailoring required for the Rational Environment are reported.…”

This report supplements the SEI report Evaluation of the Rational Environment (CMU/SEI-88-TR-15) by Peter Feiler, Susan Dart, and Grace Downey. It contains the instantiation of the experiments presented in the Evaluation of Ada Environments by Nelson Weiderman, et al. (see [7]). Overall conclusions and analysis of the Rational Environment can be found in Evaluation of the Rational Environment. 2.2. Experiment #1 1. Experiment setup a. Create subdirectory in which the experiment will be performed. {The subsystems MAIN, CLI, SM, VT, and AS will all be subdirectories of Rational World "!Users.experimenter.Cm_Experiment".} {Make !Users.experimenter the current context} Library.Create_World (Name => "cm_experiment", Kind => Library.World, Vol => Library.Nil, Model => "!Model.R1000_Portable", Response => ""); b. Establish environment variables to be used in the experiment. {None are used; the logical names assumed by the experiment will be used as subsystem names.} CMU/SEI-88-TR-21 9 {Make !Users.experimenter.Cm_Experiment. As.Rev1_Working.Units the current context.} Cmvc.Make_Controlled(What_Object => "@", Reservation_Token_Name => "", Join_With_View => "", Comments => "", Work_Order => "", Response => ""); {Repeat the above procedures (Library.Copy and Cmvc.Make_Controlled) for each of the subsystems (CLI, MAIN, SM, and VT), placing the subsystem's Ada units into the appropriate Rev1_Working.Units subdirectory, and placing the Ada units under access control.} 4. Define a new (integrated) system model from existing subsystems. This system model specifies the compilation dependencies in effect when integrating all of the individual subsystems. {Create for each subsystem a spec view composed of the default-a copy of all the package specifications within the subsystem.} {Make !Users.experimenter.Cm_Experiment.As the current context, and place the cursor on Rev1_Working.

Halstead's theory of software science is used to describe the compilation process and generate a compiler performance index. A nonlinear model of compile time is estimated for four Ada compilers. A fundamental relation between compile time and program modularity is proposed. Issues considered include data collection procedures, the development of a counting strategy, the analysis of the complexity measures used, and the investigation of significant relationships between program characteristics and compile time. The results suggest that the model has a high predictive power and provides interesting insights into compiler performance phenomena. The research suggests that the discrimination rate of a compiler is a valuable performance index and is preferred to average compile time statistics.
