Line 17:
NPTL is a so-called 1×1 threads library, in that threads created by the user (via the <code>pthread_create()</code> library function) are in 1-1 correspondence with schedulable entities in the kernel (tasks, in the Linux case). This is the simplest possible threading implementation.
 
An alternative to NPTL's 1×1 model is the [[Thread_%28computer_science%29#NM:M_N_.28Hybrid_threading.29|''m×n'' model]].
