I'm not sure. We are *engineers* and we are supposed to be concerned 
with the physicality of all the bricks that we are using.

Percentage of *which* CPU? Or maybe you think that 200% means two core 
are used? If yes, then how the operating system is supposed to do it if 
there are not tasks in the program? And if there are some tasks, then 
they are program entities and the programmer is supposed to decide how 
many there are.

Ada is an imperative programming language and one of its major 
advantage/disadvantage is that it allows you to be concerned with what's 
going on under the hood.
There are some language where the programmer need not be concerned with 
the number of cores that are used to solve the given problem (Prolog? 
SQL?, etc.), but Ada is not one of them. And that's actually good.
