- -- Abstract : This tool is a series of very simple benchmarks
- ----------------: which are used to test the validity of various
- ----------------: assumptions that one might make about the
- ----------------: behavior of a compiler. Probably all the
- ----------------: implicit assumptions are valid, these tests
- ----------------: just check that something has not been
- ----------------: overlooked that could severely distort
- ----------------: detailed quantitative tests. There should be
- ----------------: no significance given to the numerical results
- ----------------: of these tests, they just provide a framework
- ----------------: for other tests. There is not even a pressing
- ----------------: need to make sure of the status (or emptiness)
- ----------------: of the machine on which they are run, since
- ----------------: the desired comparison is one to another, not
- ----------------: to some absolute.
- ----------------:
- ----------------: This tool was developed as a precursor for
- ----------------: the WMCCS Information System (WIS). An
- ----------------: executable version of the tool has been
- ----------------: demonstrated. This source code has sub-
- ----------------: sequently been recompiled but has not under-
- ----------------: gone extensive testing.
