Ada Compilers for Parallel Computers

Ada Compilers for Parallel Computers

[Scott Stallcup]

I am looking for any information on Ada compilers 
for parallel computers.  

In particular, I would like to find references to 
any papers about the use of Ada for fault tolerant 
embedded parallel systems where Ada tasks are mapped 
to separate CPUs.  

Thanks in advance for all responses...

I believe that GNAT is supported for the SGI Origin series and hope to try
it out myself soon. OTOH in the high performance computing sector Ada does
not seem to be well established. Recently I asked Tera Inc. about Ada-
support for there new machine (and how far their C++-implementation will
reach the upcoming C++ standard) but until now I did not get any answer.

Probably this is an answer... *sigh*

Joerg

I know.
been there -- done that.
(dont forget to set a specific environment variable on # of threads to "auto")
