Subject: CPU resources for embedded Ada programs
Message-ID: <cffs.14@fox.nstn.ns.ca>
List-Id: <comp.lang.ada>

  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.
