PVM or other parallel system

PVM or other parallel system

[czaby]

Hello,

I'm looking for an Ada compiler which generates code for real parallel
systems such as transputers. A GNAT port to use PVM would be ideal.

Please respond to this address: czaby@dtalk.elte.hu

Now we are at it: Has anyone plans for, or are interested in, a port of GNAT 
to Taos?
I want it. - I am even considering doing the work myself (if I can).

I once wrote a thin binding to PVM for the Alsys compiler, but it should
work without major modifications with any Ada compiler.  I had no use
for it lately, so I didn't try it with gnat.  If anybody is interested
to use my code as a starting point, I'm happy to send it to you.

Alsys make a Ada83 for transputers but it is expensive.

I also have a Ada95 binding to PVM. It has been developed with gnat and
runs on Sparc workstations. It is by no means complete and future additions
will be demand driven. It also assumes a homogeneous network at present.

One interesting feature is the use of the Ada.Streams package to
pack/unpack the buffers. This means I will be able to use the stream
attributes when they emerge for data transmission.

I too can make the code available -- perhaps PAL may be a suitable place.
