In this paper we present a proposal to integrate the POSIX.1 execution-time clocks and execution-time timers into the Ada
95 language. This proposal defines a new package named Ada.CPU_Time and describes the modifications done to the GNAT front-end and run-time to support it. Additionally this proposal discusses
some usage schemes of this new interface.
