Re: Ada and SIMD

[anon@anon.org (anon)]

Ada does have the ability to use SIMD, the only problem is the underlying 
packages. The standard Ada packages do not include a vectorization 
package. But with that understanding, Ada 83 as been use to preform 
vectorization since 83/84.

Anyone can create a SIMD package with the constructs for Ada, To fully 
use the Intel Core-2 multi-core processing all it takes is to use 
System.Machine_code package for the assembly code and create a package 
that would contain the types and procedures to preform the vectorization. 
Like:
   type Vector_Integer is range -( 2 ** 127 ) .. ( 2 ** 127 - 1 ) ;


Also, there may be a doctoral project or two that may perform some SIMD 
or vectorization in Ada with the Pentium-D, that can be either used or 
updated to the Core-2 Dual.
