Native POSIX Thread Library

Native POSIX Thread Library, also known as NPTL, in the world of the Linux kernel is a feature that enables Linux to run programs written to use POSIX-style threads very fast.

In tests, it succeeded in running 100,000 threads simultaneously on a IA-32 which were started in two seconds.
