Implementation strategies for Ada tasking idioms
Paul N. Hilfinger · 1982
This paper considers certain uses of Ada tasking---tasking idioms---that do not require the full generality of the mechanism. It describes implementation techniques for these idioms that reduce the required storage and time overheads on many operating systems. The intent is to allow programmers to use these idioms freely, without having to circumvent the tasking features of Ada in order to gain required performance.
