BENCHMARK PROGRAM GENERATOR FOR COMPILER PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS

摘要

This paper presents techniques for automatic generation of benchmark programs for compiler performance measurements. Generated programs have adjustable parameters defining the program length, relative frequencies of individual control structures, and other properties of generated programs. A sequence of benchmark programs is used for compiler performance analysis. For various compilers we measure the compilation speed, the size of object program, and the size of executable program as a function of compilation parameters.
