Abstract

The arrival and popularity of multi-core processors has sparked a renewed interest in the development of parallel programs. Similarly, the availability of low cost microprocessors and sensors has generated a great interest in embedded real-time programs. Ada is arguably the most appropriate language for development of parallel and real-time applications. This tutorial provides an introduction to the features of Ada that make it appropriate in these domains including.

  • High level support for low level programming.

  • The task.

  • Communication and synchronization based on shared objects.

  • Communication and synchronization based on direct interaction.

  • Support for compliance with real-time scheduling theory.
