We added multi-threading to the CVM software DSM and evaluated its impact on the performance of a suite of common shared memory programs. Multi-threading resulted in speed improvements of at least 20% in two of the applications, and better than 15% for several other applications. However, we also found that good performance can not always be achieved transparently for non-trivial applications. Also, the characteristics of the underlying DSM protocol can have a large effect on multi-threading's utility.
