References Wanted: Ada on multiprocessors

References Wanted: Ada on multiprocessors

[spf]

I'm in need of references to publications in the open literature
relating to execution of Ada multitasking programs on multiprocessing
systems, either experimental or theoretical.  Any leads would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks! Steve Frysinger

Reference: Fault-Tolerant multiprocessors in Ada

[David_A_Wheeler]

A decent article on implementing a Fault-Tolerant multiprocessor system
in Ada is in the IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering May 1987,
"On the Implementation and Use of Ada on Fault-Tolerant Distributed
Systems" by John C. Knight and John I. A. Urquhart (Vol SE-13, #5, p553).

If you're trying to implement a fault-tolerant system in Ada I recommend
you take a a look... it has a few "here's what you need to do"
sentences in its summary.

I can't refer you to any papers, but Alliant Computer Systems Corp. has
implemented an Ada compiler on their shared-memory multi processor
architecture. They are located in Littleton, MASS, and their phone is
(617)486-4950, ask for the Ada program manager for leads.

You should try to get a hold of 

  ACM SIGADA
  Ada Letters
  Volume VII, Number 6 (Fall 1987, Special Edition)

It contains the proceedingsd of the

  International Workshop on Real-Time Ada Issues
  Moretonhampstead, Devon, UK
  May 13-15, 1987

and is published by the ACM Press.

I just received my copy last week.
