On many modern processors, each core can execute 2 tasks at the same time
(effectively). So it may be possible for all 4 tasks in your example to run at
the same time.

An Ada-12 compiler that implements Annex D has pkg
System.Multiprocessors.Dispatching_Domains (ARM D.16.1) that lets you determine
the CPU that a task is running on, as well as aspect CPU to force a task to run
on a specific CPU. Compilers for earlier versions of Ada may have
vendor-specific ways to do similar things.
