+      OPA (or sometimes OpenPA or Open Portable Atomics) is an
+      open source library intended to provide a consistent C API for performing
+      atomic operations on a variety of platforms. The main goal of the project is to
+      enable the portable usage of atomic operations in concurrent software.
+      Developers of client software can worry about implementing and improving their
+      concurrent algorithms instead of fiddling with inline assembly syntax and
+      learning new assembly dialects in order improve or maintain application
+      portability.
