ENROUTE AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL PROGRAM SOFTWARE OPTIMIZATION STUDY

This report documents results of a 10-month study aimed at reducing the core storage and CPU utilization required by the NAS Enroute ATC operational software. Results are presented for six major categories: monitor improvements, program architecture improvements, compool improvements, mathematical improvements, code optimization, and micro-code utilization. Areas of significant inefficiency are identified for each category along with recommendations for improved designs and the projected savings that would accrue from their implementation.
