2014 SOW Milestone 3.1
This release provides the Booyah customer with updates to continue multi-core evaluation. This release is a prototype of the fine grain kernel locking
strategy. The Release Notes documents many expected areas which still do not adhere to the Application Induced Blocking only principle.
