Well, Yes and No.

Yes, you _could_ do it, if it was provided by your Ada vendors run-time.
No, you can't do it, in that I know of no vendor that provides a run-time FOR
WORKSTATIONS. 

However, if executing on a Convex Computer, which has 8 cpus, the tasks DO
distribute across the cpus, and they DO rendevous just fine.
