As more and more software DSM systems with their unique APIs surface, it becomes imperative for the industry to come up with a standardized API to facilitate users in using different types of DSM systems. A multithreaded software DSM, Orion, has been developed to provide POSIX-thread ( pthread) like API which avoids creating another unique set of API and helps in porting pthread programs to a distributed environment. Orion implements home-based consistency model, which is a recent development in the DSM field that has open up many areas for further research and development. In this paper, we also present 2 adaptive schemes for home-based DSM systems: home migration and dynamic adaptation between write-invalidation and write-update protocols. The two fully automatic schemes aim to involve minimal user intervention and yet deliver good performances with some speedups ranging from 2 % to 79% observed in some 8 benchmarks tested.
