How to program fine-grained real-time concurrent applications in C or Ada

Hello Joe Sherrill and thank you for the quick response.

I'm not sure I understand correctly what you said. According to this
example (<
https://github.com/RTEMS/rtems-examples/blob/master/classic_api/triple_period/tasks.c#L70>),
"'ticks' is don't care ( = does not work);". What should I infer from this
comment?
I've also checked *rtems_task_wake_after*, but it is not what I'm
looking for: I need something semantically similar to Ada's *delay until, *so
*not *a *delay. *That's why neither *clock_nanospleep *is suitable for my
purposes.
