    <para>
      The <application>userspace-rcu</application> package provides 
      a set of userspace RCU (read-copy-update) libraries. These data synchronization 
      libraries provide read-side access which scales linearly with the number of cores. 
      It does so by allowing multiples copies of a given data structure to live at 
      the same time, and by monitoring the data structure accesses to detect grace 
      periods after which memory reclamation is possible.
