Abstract

The new many-core platforms make it difficult for the programmer to provide efficient mapping of Ada programs onto the underlying non-uniform hardware. This paper discusses how existing Ada concepts such as Dispatching Domains and the Distributed Systems Annex can be extended or changed to better support the hierarchical and heterogeneous nature of these platforms.
