PowerAda® is the leading integrated development environment for developing, testing, integrating, and maintaining complex Ada applications. Applications compiled with PowerAda run up to twice as fast as those using other compilers. The exact speed varies, depending on the application and the compiler.

Power Ada scales well from small to large projects, even those involving hundreds of users. It has been field-proven on many large-scale projects, including US and UK Air Traffic Control systems and complex distributed simulation programs.

PowerAda contains a compiler, debugger, visual source browser, interface to popular configuration management tools, and other tools to support easy build management.

Key features

• PowerAda Version 5 runs on Red Hat Linux in addition to AIX.

• Includes interactive source and object class browsers, browsing editor, cross-referencer, unit graphing tools, fully integrated with multi-language source debugger.

• All capabilities are available through either the GUI or the command line.

• Supports parallel development by multiple users in a simple manner.

• Automatic program and project build capabilities.

• PowerAda/AIX directly supports four third-party configuration management tools (CMVC, CVS, Razor and Clearcase), and may be easily customized to support any other CM system.

• Library structure supports iterative development and multiple version control.

• Includes ASIS, an ISO-standard library for building program analysis tools.

• Ada tasks are mapped to threads; the source level debugger is thread-aware; POSIX and X-11 bindings are included.

• The PowerAda compiler is specifically tuned for Power PC and Pentium computers.

• PowerAda compiler is ACVC 2.1 validated for AIX. Additionally, we support the Ada 95 standard's Specialized Needs Annexes C (Systems Programming), D (Real-Time Systems) and G (Numerics).

We also offer LegacyAda/390 for OS/390 Ada 83 development. LegacyAda/390 includes a validated Ada 83 compiler and a powerful toolset that is currently supporting complex projects in a number of countries.
