The Telesoft TeleGen2 compiler, vs. all available C compilers,
as of circa October 1988; contact Telesoft for details, since
the statement was made at the Telesoft User's Group meeting at
the Tri-Ada '88 conference.

I seem to recall "Dhrystone", among others, being cited. There
were no limitations on the use of the Ada language.

I think the comparison might have focused on Sun workstations,
but I'm by no means positive. In any event, the point of contact is:
TeleSoft, 5959 Cornerstone Court West, San Diego, CA, 92121-9891
There were several articles in the Proceedings of Tri-Ada '88
which considered at length the sophisticated optimization techniques
which went into the TeleGen2 compiler; that might also be a good source.
There has been a new release of the TeleGen2 compiler since October
1988, and undoubtedly new releases of C compilers as well, so it
would probably be best to contact TeleSoft directly at the above
address for the most recent competitive statistics.
