There is a version of OS/2 that does SMP, but I don't know if it will
distribute threads (ie. ada-tasks) or only processes. The rationale
(III.3.7) mention dividing programs in to partitions. "Partitions
are intended to support distributed processing,...". I guess partitioning
is overkill for SMP :-) If the operating system doesn't SMPs the tasks,
then you could use OS-calls to make processes (but that isn't portable).
