Abstract

In this paper we present a proposal to integrate the POSIX.1 execution-time clocks and execution-time timers into the Ada 95 language. This proposal defines a new package named Ada.CPU_Time and describes the modifications done to the GNAT front-end and run-time to support it. Additionally this proposal discusses some usage schemes of this new interface.

This work has been partially funded by the Spanish Research Council (CICYT), contract numbers TIC2001-1586-C03-03 and TIC99-1043-C03-03, and by the Commission of the European Communities under project IST-2001-34820 (FIRST).
