+ This document uses some terminology common to the RISC-V community
+ that is not widely used, the definitions of which are listed here:
+
+ hart: A hardware execution context, which contains all the state
+ mandated by the RISC-V ISA: a PC and some registers. This
+ terminology is designed to disambiguate software's view of execution
+ contexts from any particular microarchitectural implementation
+ strategy. For example, an Intel laptop containing one socket with
+ two cores, each of which has two hyperthreads, could be described as
+ having four harts.
