Pointers + index checks I'd say. Try this:
with Ada.Numerics.Float_Random; use Ada.Numerics.Float_Random;
with Ada.Command_Line; use Ada.Command_Line;
with Ada.Text_IO; use Ada.Text_IO;
with Ada.Calendar; use Ada.Calendar;
procedure tst_array_2 is
package F_IO is new Ada.Text_IO.Float_IO(Float);
package D_IO is new Ada.Text_Io.Fixed_Io(Duration);
type Real_Matrix is array(Integer range <>,Integer range <>) of Float;
N : Positive;
G : Ada.Numerics.Float_Random.Generator;
Start, Finish : Ada.Calendar.Time;
Sum : Float := 0.0;
begin
N := Positive'Value (Argument (1));
declare
subtype Matrix is Real_Matrix (1..N, 1..N);
A, B, C : Matrix;
begin
for I in A'range(1) loop
for J in A'range(2) loop
A(I,J) := Ada.Numerics.Float_Random.Random(G);
B(I,J) := Ada.Numerics.Float_Random.Random(G);
end loop;
end loop;
Start := Ada.Calendar.Clock;
for I in A'range(1) loop
for J in A'range(2) loop
Sum := 0.0;
for R in A'range(2) loop
Sum := Sum + A(I,R)*B(R,J);
end loop;
C(I,J) := Sum;
end loop;
end loop;
Finish := Ada.Calendar.Clock;
F_IO.Put (C(1,1)); F_IO.Put (C(1,2)); New_Line;
F_IO.Put (C(2,1)); F_IO.Put (C(2,2)); New_Line;
end;
Put ("Time: "); D_IO.Put(Finish-Start); New_Line;New_Line;
end tst_array_2;
