Is it role of being a sort of extension board, arithmetic booster, DSP

Nothing specific. I am just wondering if there is an architecture that
could natively support Ada, down to actuators, sensors and real-time
control loops.

modified) or a field bus. The latter slowly dies out. RS232 is, well, quite
outdated.]
