+    """The qthreads API is designed to make using large numbers of
+       threads convenient and easy, and to allow portable access to
+       threading constructs used in massively parallel shared memory
+       environments. The API maps well to both MTA-style threading and
+       PIM-style threading, and we provide an implementation of this
+       interface in both a standard SMP context as well as the SST
+       context. The qthreads API provides access to full/empty-bit
+       (FEB) semantics, where every word of memory can be marked
+       either full or empty, and a thread can wait for any word to
+       attain either state."""
