- I recently recieved a copy of lessons learned report that covered two Ada
- development projects. The projects were 50 and 80 KLOC, were real-time,
- embedded military applications that ran 68K series processors. Based upon
- the experience of these two projects, the authors suggested that embedded,
- real-time Ada projects will require about 1 MB of RAM and 3 MIPS of CPU
- power for every 20 KLOC.
-
- Are these numbers valid? Does anyone have any experience with similar
- rules of thumb? Is it even possible to come up with rules of thumb such
- as this, given the diverse nature of many Ada applications. Thanks.
