Most Intel Atom systems today offer hardware support for two or more threads of execution through multiple cores or Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology. It is worthwhile for developers to explore the advantages of multithreading in order to achieve better application performance or improve the user experience and responsiveness when running on Intel Atom. This paper describes the common Qt classes used to implement threaded applications on MeeGo, and also offers a brief summary of the performance of various threading primitives on Intel Atom processors.

The concepts covered in this introduction are:
* QThreads
* QtConcurrent
* Locking with QMutex
* QtConcurrent and Qt Collections
