Litvinchouk) Newsgroups: comp.object Subject: OO language implementation benchmarks Message-ID: Date: 3 Mar 90 15:24:34 GMT Sender: news@linus.UUCP Organization: The Mitre Corporation, Bedford, MA Lines: 42 I am trying to do a performance comparision of two different object oriented programming implementations (Smalltalk-80 from ParcPlace, and MODSIM II from CACI). These languages differ in some respects, but both provide the essentials of OOP: objects, inheritance and polymorphism. Are there "de facto standard" benchmark programs that are used by the OO community to measure the performance of things like: object creation, instance variable access, dynamic method lookup, etc.? (Both time and space performance are of interest to me.) So far, the only such benchmarks I know of are those that came as part of the Smalltalk-80 distribution. Are there others? Please reply directly to me; I will post a summary of responses to this newsgroup. Thanx in advance!
