numerics+parallel+G5's

Dear All,

searching the group shows that there has been some activity on
numerical issues implemented in Ada.
My question is: Are there still someone out there with a combined
interest in Ada and numerics - perhaps also in parallel algorithm
implementations? Any collaborations?

And by the way, does anybody have hints on how the G5 powerpc cpu works
with numerics? For instance, the G5 has two FPU's, are they implicitly
invoked or are there any tricks to apply for accessing both of them
(leave out the "altivec" unit which is limited to 32 bit)?

It seems to me that would depend on what compiler is used.

Ada & numerics -> yes, there are some (my speciality: finite element methods).

Nice to hear that something is happening.

The compiler on my mac was the "macada" 10.3 version. Upgrading is
underway to gnat ada05. Please, any hints and tricks for optimising the
ppc?
