A method for performance estimation of Ada programs by analyzing their syntactical structure is presented. The use of algorithmic knowledge by means of code annotations to improve the analysis is discussed. Dual loop benchmarks are used to estimate the execution time for basic Ada features from which all other estimations are derived. An example program is analyzed and compared to its actual time showing an initial overestimation of 40%. It is suggested that the method is integrated with the Ada—environment to ensure that estimations are consistent with the current version of the code.
