Abstract :
The authors report how they used Ada´s features for parallel processing, the task and the rendezvous, to achieve near-linear speedup on parallel computers that hosted an Ada parallel run-time environment. In addition, they discuss the availability, performance, and productivity of Ada for the programmer familiar with single-program, multiple-data (SPMD)-style programming in parallel Fortran.<>
