ADA Tasking Performance Issues

Abstract

The objectives of this task were to determine, for both uni-processor and distributed real-time applications, the sufficiency of the Ada tasking model in relation to the performance needed and to recommend ways of improving the efficiency of the Ada tasking model to obtain the needed performance. The project scope was as follows: (1) Determine the performance issues involved with using the Ada tasking model for uni-processor applications; (2) Determine the performance issues involved with using the Ada tasking model for distributed applications; (3) Analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the Ada tasking model and recommend methods to overcome any lack of performance; (4) Determine how to best utilize the Ada tasking model for both uni-processor and distributed applications; and (5) Propose experiments to test the conclusions reached in this research.
