<ul>
<li><p>SMP: Symmetric Multi-Processing, making use of systems with
multiple CPUs.</p></li>
<li><p>SoftUpdates: Makes the BSD filesystem at least as fast as the
Linux filesystem, <strong>without</strong> needing to enable
asynchronous writes, with their associated risk.</p></li>
<li><p>VM system: The VM (Virtual Memory) subsystem continues to be
refined. The merged VM/cache design helps systems like
wcarchive.cdrom.com juggle thousands (literally, more than 10,000)
simultaneous FTP connections without falling over.</p></li>
<li><p>Architecture ports: FreeBSD supports seven main architectures
currently: Alpha, AMD64, i386, Itanium, PC-98, PowerPC and UltraSPARC.
There are also ongoing works to port the project for further
architectures. See the <a
href="../platforms/index.html">Supported Platforms</a> page
for more information.</p></li>
<li><p>MAC Framework: FreeBSD supports Mandatory Access Control, a feature
usually found in trusted operating systems available for high
prices. FreeBSD gives you advanced security for free! The
<a href="http://www.trustedbsd.org">TrustedBSD Project</a>
provides further trusted operating system extensions.</p></li>
<li><p>GEOM classess: GEOM is a modular disk framework that lets
you concatenate, mirror, stripe, or encrypt disks. It is rich
in functionality and keeps your data safe.</p></li>
