The library provides implementation of interval floating-point and integer
arithmetic.

You have quite a set of libraries for Ada.  Have you ever considered
1) inventorying the feature-set of each of your libraries for Ada and
2) inventorying the feature-set of corresponding Boost libraries for C++
to see if Ada's analogous libraries have reached feature-parity with Boost?  (Or whether Boost's analogue has yet achieved feature-parity for a more-capable Ada library?)

Well, some portions of Boost are, well, irrelevant/unneeded in any Ada 
library because the language itself takes care of it; case in point: 
parallelism.

The key words in my posting were "corresponding" and "analogue".

For example, parallelism is not corresponding to interval arithmetic as an analogous library---hence non sequitur.

The overview of hosted libraries is this

http://www.dmitry-kazakov.de/reusable_code.htm

Individual pages have a quick summary of major categories.

I cannot tell. I never used Boost. When we develop in C++ we use in-house
C++ class library, which was developed before Boost existed and after quite
painful experience with early versions of MFC and STL it was decided to
never use third-party general purpose C++ libraries.
