Silicon Graphics MP/Ada 6.2.1 product provides the first multiprocess Ada Development System to be built using the POSIX compliant threads model for Ada tasking. MP/Ada is a product designed to allow you to fully use the exceptional power and performance of Silicon Graphic's multiprocessor technology and symmetric multiprocessing operating system.
Ada tasks are mapped one to one with POSIX compliant threads. These threads are executed dynamically by a pool of kernal processes which are further scheduled on all available processors (an M by N mapping).
Further, since each Ada task may be bound to an independent kernal process, all of Silicon Graphics REACT (realtime extensions to IRIX) capabilities are now accessible to Ada programs.
