Abstract

Several metrics related to the distribution of use of instructions in a program have been developed. They appear to have potential for assessing the degree to which a program "matches" the architecture of the host computer. Also, they may serve as the basis for bridging the gap between the software science metrics of Halstead and others that focus on the static qualities of the programming process and the resulting software product and dynamic measures such as MIPS often used for comparison of system performance.
