The ACES 2.1 software is contained in a set of compressed files. These files can be uncompressed with the unzip utility, installed in a series of subdirectories and be used to evaluate an Ada Compiler for a specific system.
Complete documentation is available.
A brief subset of tests can be found in the Quick Look test subset. The tests are divided into 21 Performance Test Groups , each dealing with a specific area for evaluation. For efficiency, several groups are included in each of the zipped files. When unzipped they will automatically be stored in 21 individual subdirectories. These units support the evaluation of functionality and usability of the diagnostics system, the symbolic debugger, and the library management system.
