 # Tables
+
+Our EVM statements are decomposed into several STARK tables, each corresponding to some coprocessor capable of handling specific operations,
+orchestrated by a [Central Processing Unit](./cpu.md).
+
+Each coprocessor execution can be proven independently and concurrently, and a global check (via our [cross-table lookups](../framework/ctls.md))
+enforces consistency of values being shared across multiple coprocessors.
