With the introduction of the Intel® Xeon™ processor and Hyper-Threading technology, the Windows .NET Server operating system and applications can perform simultaneous multithreading on a single processor. This paper examines the ways in which applications built using the Microsoft .NET Framework SDK can employ multiple threads and take maximum advantage of the Hyper-Threading technology of Intel Xeon processors.

All the code examples shown in this paper are written in C# although they will work with a little translation in other .NET-supported languages such as J# and Visual Basic .NET.
