Hi, I've been reading about the advantages of the NPTL threads library but I couldn't find the answers for some questions. The main doubt is related to its advantages on SMP machines. Many things have been made on the kernel to make the threads library better, like the introduction of futexes, changes on the signal handling mechanism, use of new architecture specific data structures, and so on. A lot is said about the benefits of using the new threads implementations on SMP machines. I'd like to know which changes have been made specifically thinking on SMP machines, and which have been made to other purposes? Is there any feature on the library/kernel that make it possible to exploit the benefits of NUMA systems?
