This paper presents measurements on six OPS5 production system programs running at C M U . The measurements contribute to the study of static and run-time characteristics of production system programs. In particular, the measurements will enable us to explore the possibility of using parallelism in executing production system programs. The complete set of measurements is divided into three parts. The first part consists of measurements on the textual structure of the production system programs. The second part consists of measurements on the compiled form of the productions, and the third part consists of run-time measurements on the production system programs. Along with the data, a number of examples arc given to show how the data may be used to evaluate parallel implementations of production systems.
