| Next Generation POSIX Threading (NGPT) is a project which introduces an M:N
threading model to the Linux system. This model will provide better performance
for multi-threaded applications that utilize the POSIX pthreads library
functionality. This will be particularly true on SMP machines. The goal of this
project is to make threading on Linux more robust, more POSIX-compliant, and
more in line with the services provided by commerical Unix operating systems. |
