The 400,000-line fully self-compiled Ada compiler was developed by Intermetrics, Inc. The ACS runs on IBM 370, 43XX, and 30XX computers as well as plug-compatible machines such as those made by Amdahl. The UTS operating system (Version 2.3) is a UNIX variant and is available from Amdahl either in "native mode" for Amdahl 580-series machines or on top of VM on IBM machines. The compiler has been validated with ACVC 1.8 and executes at 250 to 400 lpm on the IBM 4341 with an Ada to assembly language expansion ratio of 1 to 4. The compiler contains a comprehensive global optimizer. The ACS performs four major classes of optimizations: o Ada-specific optimizations (such as constraint-check minimization and Haberman-Nassi Tasking), o Classical optimizations (such as common expression elimination and dead code elimination), o Register optimization, and o Branch optimization. Other compiler features include a partial implementation of Ada Chapter Thirteen, extensive syntax error recovery, compilation statistics gathering, and generation of source, object, and symbol/cross-reference listings. Because of the emphasis on optimization, configuration management support, and capacity, the ACS is suitable for developing large, time-critical Ada applications. The ACS was developed in accordance with the Military Standards for software development, and is documented. ******************************************************************* AVAILABILITY The Data & Analysis Center for Software (DACS) has been authorized by Rome Air Development Center (RADC) to distribute the "Ada Compilation System (ACS)" to any U.S. Government Agency. In addition, the ACS may be distributed to those individuals or enterprises certified and registered as qualified contractors in the Defense Logistics Services Center (DLSC) data base. These are published in DLSC'S "Qualified Contractor Access List (QCAL)." A "Statement of Terms & Conditions" must be completed and approved prior to the release of the AIE software and/or documentation to any nongovernment organization. Contact Ms. Nancy L. Sunderhaft at the DACS for additional information on obtaining the ACS software and/or documentation: Data & Analysis Center for Software RADC/COED Griffiss AFB, NY 13441-5700 ATTN: ACS Compilation System (315) 336-0937 (AV) 587-3395 DDN: Sunderhaft@RADC-Multics A limited number of licenses for the ACS running on the MVS operating system are available from Intermetrics, Inc. Contact Mr. Donald Mark (see address below) for information on obtaining an MVS version of the ACS. ******************************************************************* MAINTENANCE COURSE A one week Maintenance Course will be held 23-27 March 1987 at Intermetrics, Inc. in Cambridge, MA. The course will include an overview of the ACS; Host Interface and Virtual Memory Management; the Lexer and Parser; Semantic Analysis; General Instantiation; Retargeting the Compiler; Building the Compiler; Rehosting the Compiler; and the Program Library Manager. There is no fee to attend the Maintenance Course. Participants are responsible for their own transportation, meals, and lodging. Compiler development companies are not eligible to participate in the Maintenance Course. Send a written request (no net messages, please) to participate in the ACS Maintenance Course by 11 March 1987 to Mr. Donald Mark at the following address: Rome Air Development Center Command & Control Software Engineering Branch RADC/COEE Griffiss AFB, NY 13441-5700 (315) 330-3655 (AV) 587-3655 *******************************************************************
