Xv6's use of the x86 makes it more relevant to students' experience than V6 was and unifies the course around a single architecture. -Adding multiprocessor support also helps relevance -and makes it easier to discuss threads and concurrency. -(In a single processor operating system, concurrency–which only -happens because of interrupts–is too easy to view as a special case. -A multiprocessor operating system must attack the problem head on.) +Adding multiprocessor support requires handling concurrency head on with +locks and threads (instead of using special-case solutions for +uniprocessors such as +enabling/disabling interrupts) and helps relevance.
