Abstract

This paper describes inter-processor communication schemes that can be used for real-time distributed systems implemented in Ada. A general discussion is included for low-level communication primitives, message passing, and remote procedure calls (RPC). The Ada rendezvous mechanism for task communication and synchronization is examined with regard to local and remote information exchange. A detailed treatment is included for the implementation of an RPC mechanism in Ada. The design is illustrated with Ada code examples.
