Just some more background information. The Concurrency Kit offers an <br>
epoch API for general use and is used by FreeBSD. The epoch API and <br>
implementation from FreeBSD is a specialization which deals also with <br>
the storage management of the epoch records (ck_epoch_record_t) as a <br>
per-processor resource. The use of per-processor data is a very elegant <br>
approach which avoids some life cycle issues which would pop up if <br>
thread-local records would be used.<br>
<br>
The measured performance on a T4240 is quite good. Concurrent enter/exit <br>
scales linearly up to 12 processors, then I guess a bus saturation is <br>
reached.<br>
