Hands-on: Ada on Android!

Abstract:
This hands-on describes how to use a native Ada application on an Android device (ARM processor) without having to 'root' your device.

The following is available:

PHC - an interactive program for solving polynomial systems using homotopy continuation

Abstract:
PHC is an interactive program for solving polynomial systems using homotopy continuation (PHC = Polynomial Homotopy Continuation). It contains various root counting methods, such as a tool for computing mixed volumes.
To access the distribution, use anonymous ftp to the site ftp.cs.kuleuven.ac.be and go to the directory /pub/NumAnal-ApplMath/PHC.

The distribution contains the sources, demonstration examples, binaries for several platforms and the paper "PHCPACK: A general-purpose solver for polynomial systems by homotopy continuation" (in PostScript format). This paper is a revised edtion of the one presented at the 1996 Ada-Belgium Seminar

Jerry's Ada on Win95 Page

Abstract:
This started as an experimental page to allow easy distribution of some of the author's GNAT/DOS packages and demos, in the hope the material will prove useful to the GNAT/DOS user community. All software available on that page is copyrighted by the author, but freely usable.
Jerry's recent Ada for Win95/NT page is a collection of pointers to resources useful when programming in Ada on Win95 or NT machines.

The following is available:

• Jerry's Ada on Win95 Page.
• Jerry's GNAT/DOS Page (no longer actively maintained).

CRCADA95 - Cyclic Redundancy Checks in Ada 95

Reference: "Cyclic Redundancy Checks in Ada95", by Guido DUERINCKX, ACM Ada Letters, Jan/Feb 1997, Pages 41-53, Volume XVII, Number 1

Abstract:
CRCADA95 provides an implementation of standard well optimized CRC algorithms in Ada 95. The basic CRC algorithm is implemented as a generic package. Both 16-bit and 32-bit CRC instantiations are provided, the 32-bit version is fully POSIX/UNIX95 compliant.
This version of CRCADA95 may be freely distributed and reused within your own projects.

The following files are available:

• crcada95.doc: a copy of the author's paper in Ada Letters (MS Word 6.0 document);
• crcada95.ada: the source code;
• crcada95.crc: a listing with POSIX/UNIX95 CRCs of the above two files.

Indexed sequential files in Ada: a didactical example

Reference: "Indexed Sequential Files in Ada: a Didactical Example", by Marc A. Gobin, Ada-Belgium Newsletter, Nov 1996, Pages 85-91, Volume 4

Abstract:
As an introduction to a course on implementing data bases, the working of an indexed sequential file system is explained. Indexed sequential files are not included in the Ada reference manual, but can (easily ?) be implemented. To serve its purpose the implementation should be easy to explain, easy to use and as efficient as possible.
In a paper presented at the 1996 Ada-Belgium Seminar the main features of an indexed sequential package are explained and the different choices and restrictions are justified. The result is a quite efficient package for defining and using the traditional index sequential concepts.
Note: the entire package is available as freeware and can be obtained in source form here. The package is Ada83 compatible.

The following files are available:

• indexed.doc: a copy of the author's paper in the Ada-Belgium Newsletter (MS Word 6.0 document);
• indexed.ppt: a copy of the author's presentation at the 1996 Ada-Belgium Seminar (Powerpoint file);
• indexed.ada: the source code.
