ABSTRACT
The use of parallel heterogeneous embedded architectures
is needed to implement the level of performance required
in advanced safety‐critical systems. Hence, there is a demand
for using high level parallel programming models capable of
efficiently exploiting the performance opportunities.
In this paper, we evaluate the incorporation of OpenMP, a
parallel programming model used in HPC, into Ada, a language
spread in safety‐critical domains. We demonstrate that the
execution model of OpenMP is compatible with the recently proposed
Ada
