Abstract
Several aspects of run-time support for Ada that contribute to the efficiency of the implementation are discussed. To fully support Ada, including efficient tasking, hardware support is needed. A simple method for identifying the parts of the run-time system that are good candidates for hardware support is described and used to identify three areas in which support is needed. Two kinds of smart queue memory are proposed and shown to give substantial support for Ada implementation.<>
