This seems an overly complicated response; Antonis probably wants to
know about tasks.
There are tutorials, a FAQ, and many useful links at
www.adapower.com

Could you please tell me how can I (if it is possible),
do parallel programming with Ada95?
Any tutorial or web-address related?
thank you in advance

What kind of "parallel programming" is wanted? Massively parallel
with thousands of CPUs? Fine grained SIMD parallel? Multitasking
on a single or a few CPUs (that could use Ada's tasking constructs)?
Networked CPUs that could use Ada's Appendix E "Distributed Systems"
constructs? Networked CPUs that could use TCP/IP sockets, or
serial comm ports, that could Ada library packages available for
various OSes? (My ISP dropped the initial post in this thread.)

On an SNP machine you can do it with tasking alone.

you can do MPI, or more easily, use the distributed annex.
The only implementation of the distributed annex that i know of
is ACT's Glade, which works with Gnat.

Multitasking do not neccesarily limit itself to a few processors.
At my university we have an 128-processor SGI/Cray origin machine
that can use multithreading for parallization, and there are
computers working that way with at least 2048 processors.
I have not personally tested with more than 4 processors, though.
But you are right, there are several ways to do parallel programming.
