I've only just started reading this newsgroup, and hope this is the right
place to ask this.
Does anyone out there have any facts, comments, or opinions about versions 
of Ada on parallel processor machines that make use of the architecture 
(or make use of the operating system's use of the architecture) to implement 
tasking?  I'm most interested in commercially available Ada systems, on 
machines that are not uncommon in academic/R&D environments.  

I'm also interested in anything about versions of Ada that use a operating 
system's multitasking capabilities, whether the host machine is actually a 
parallel processor or not.  
If you know of a good source for this kind of information, I'd appreciate
that, too.  Thanks.
