I am working on a large software project which will be coded in DEC's Ada under VMS. The target machine is unknown yet, but will likely be a VAX 6000 series or better. We have prototype code which is written in DEC Fortran, and would like to use it as a crude benchmark to get an idea if our final Ada code can run fast enough to do the job (coding is not to be completed until 3 years from now). Does anyone know of a comparison table or journal article which compares the execution speeds of the various DEC compilers, specifically Ada and Fortran (maybe C too)? I realize execution benchmarks vary widely based on what operations are performed, but I was hoping some ballpark performance measures exist (similar to comparing different VAX machines based on the VUP rating). Any pointers are greatly appreciated. David Artis artis@aplcomm.jhuapl.edu -or- david_artis@spacemail.jhuapl.edu
