  1. '''''Declaration statement''''' informs the performance testing driver about all input scalars and arrays required to be declared and initialized. It is to be noted that the ''static'' and ''dynamic'' keywords provide guidance to the driver on how it should allocate memory space for the declared arrays.

+As just mentioned before, all input variables involved in the core computation must be specified in the `input_vars` definition statement so that the performance testing driver can construct code for both the declarations and the initializations of the input variables. However, declarations and initializations of input variables can turn complicated, especially for multidimensional arrays with unique properties such as upper/lower triangular matrices and anti-symmetric matrices. As a consequence, Orio offers three alternatives to its users on how input variables can be declared and initialized accurately.
