+ * '''Categories:''' [#ConcurrentProgramming Concurrent Programming] 
+ * '''Description:'''  Provides implementations of lock-free data structures. Lock-free data structures can be accessed by multiple threads without the necessity of blocking synchronization primitives such as guards. Lock-free data structures can be used in real-time systems, where blocking algorithms may lead to high worst-case execution times, to avoid priority inversion, or to increase the scalability for multi-processor machines.
+
+The following data structures are provided:
+
+* boost::lockfree::fifo, a lock-free fifo queue
+* boost::lockfree::stack, a lock-free stack
+* boost::lockfree::atomic_int, an atomic integer class
