ok, i have scoured the net for answers, but none come... i am looking to develop an app with alot of threads, and before i do, i want to know hte threading limit under 2.4.
i have found that the number of threads (processes?) possible is dynamic based on memory, and is available under /proc/sys/kernel/threads-max. also, i know that there is a limitation compiled into glibc through the header linux/bits/local_lim.h. both of these are set high enough for my needs. in addition, i know that the number of processes per user can be limited in the shell via ulimit or the like. however, even with all of these things set well above what i need, when i run a thread generation program i am stopped each time at 255 threads. is there a per-user thread/process limit set somewhere else that i have not encountered? is it not a process limit at all (but a stack/memory/lock limit? a counter problem in the kernel?). i found one user who was in my exact same situation a while back but nobody ever replied to his post... mailing lists are my last ditch effort, so if you know (or know someone who might), please help me. thanks, - bryan PS - i live in hooksett but go to school in NY - i never knew there was a user group in NH... _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
