- Hi,
-
- I was wondering if anyone in Ada-land is using TeleSoft's
- RiscADA compiler on a Sun Sparc (SunOS 4.1.3) *and* is using
- TeleSoft's AdaLan LAN product, specifically AdaLan's RPC facility, in
- conjunction with the TeleSoft RiscAda. I don't know if it's just me
- or what, but if I write a very simple multitasking client program and
- have both tasks send RPC's (both tasks are in a loop issuing RPC's) to
- the same server, the server usually starts hogging the CPU after about
- 3 minutes of reliable service. In general, I have found AdaLan to be
- quite unpredictable when incorporating Adalan-based RPC's into a
- multi-tasking client. In fact, AdaLan comes with an example program
- that demonstrates how to write the client (stub and application) and
- server code when the client is multi-tasking. Even this "canned"
- example (slightly modified to send a steady stream of RPC's to the
- server) didn't perform up to expectations; the server started hogging
- the CPU after about 3 minutes for no apparent reason.
-
- My main goal is (or was :-) to use the RISCAda compiler with
- TeleLan and a TeleSoft Motif GUI builder called "TeleUSE." Problems
- only multiply when TeleUSE is brought into the picture. The good
- folks at TeleSoft assured me that some of their customers use these
- three products together with success. Has anybody had any luck with
- the combination of these three products? Inquiring minds would love
- to know!!
