The PharoForTheEnterprise book has a chapter on Nativeboost. You can find the book here in pdf format
https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/job/PharoForTheEnterprise/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/ also you can click on the folder to download only the Nativeboost chapter, but I advice to download the whole book since it has tons of useful info.
