Hello List Readers, I would really appreciate any comment on the overall performance of task switching with 25 000 threads running on the Linux system. I was asked to work on some software which spawns 25 000 threads and I am really worried if it will ever work on 2 CPU HP Blade. The kernel was modified to support bigger threads amount running (I have no idea how it was done, probably just changing hardcoded limits) What is the performance impact of so much threads on the overall system performance? Is there any ? Wouldn't it be that such application would spend all of its time switching contexts ? I'm asking for some kind of an authoritative answer quite urgently. What is the optimum thread amount on 2 CPU SMP system running Linux ?
Thank you very much in advance Mateusz -- @..@ Mateusz Berezecki (----) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mateusz.agrest.org ( >__< ) PGP: 5F1C 86DF 89DB BFE9 899E 8CBE EB60 B7A7 43F9 5808 ^^ ~~ ^^
