Line 1: The '''Native POSIX Thread Library''' ('''NPTL''') is a software feature that enables the [[Linux kernel]] to run programs written to use [[POSIX Threads]] efficiently. In tests, NPTL succeeded in starting 100,000 [[Thread (computer science)\|threads]] on a [[IA-32]] in two seconds. In comparison, this test under a Linux kernel without NPTL would have taken around 15 minutes.<ref>[http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/6530 Introducing the 2.6 Kernel<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref><ref>[http://people.redhat.com/drepper/nptl-design.pdf The Native POSIX Thread Library for Linux<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> == History ==
