 # EMPER
 
-The Extensible Massive-Parallelism Execution Realm (EMPER) is a concurrency platform to develop and execute parallel applications.
+The Efficient Massive-Parallelism Execution Realm (EMPER) is a concurrency platform to develop and execute parallel applications.
 
 EMPER's primary objective is to support the research of different aspects of parallel execution of a potentially massive amount of concurrent strands of execution on current and future many-core systems.
 Those aspects include, for example, scheduling strategies, synchronization primitives, and ultimately the overall coordination of concurrent strands of execution concerning optimal resource usage, including locality and energy efficiency.
