[Soot-list] basic question: how to use Dacapo to compare SPARK and Jchord's points-to analysis.

[Z]

Hello,

I have a naive question on the dacapo benchmarking methodology.  The goal
is to compare the performance of Spark and Jchord's flow-insensitive
points-to analyses. It's not evident for me to do the comparison with
Dacapo.

The site dacapobench.org says

"

To run one of the benchmarks, use the command followed by the benchmark
name, for example avrora:

 java -jar dacapo-9.12-bach.jar avrora
"

But this command only measures the performance of my JRE since it outputs
the used time for running 'avrora'. I would like to compare the precision
and efficiency of Spark and Jchord's points-to analyses. Are there any
approved way to do this kind of benchmarking? Intuitivlly, the programs in
the benchmark suite Dacapo should be the input of my points-to analyseur
(Spark or Jchord here), but I do not see the correct way to do this. I
probably  misunderstand something here. Would you clarify a bit?

Thank you.

Zell.
