[Zope] Zope zserver-threads minimum is 5?
Hi all, My zope clients (Zope2-2.12.11) allways start with 5 theads although zserver-threads is 2 in my zope.conf file. I am using ps -eLf for theads counter. If for zserver-threads I use the values 1, 2 or 3 I get 5 theads. A higher value give me 2 threads more. I mean, for 4 I get 6, for 15, 17 threads, etc. It's correct? There are allways 5 threads minumun and 2 extra? It's a plone site. I am using zeo with separated catalog. I have 16 instances in a 8 cores machines and I think the GIL is making a poor performance.

In our installation, we used the default (4 threads) for a long time -- until we met overload situations (all 4 threads in use over long periods of time) when we switched to 6 threads. However, in our situation not only Zope handles the application. Beside that there are backend resources such as various databases that can work concurrently with Zope. Therefore, our application is not CPU bound (at least not on the host, Zope runs on) and increasing the number of threads can increase throughput. ... This seems to eat up about half of the RAM on the server. Would one thread but double the cache size do better? You have read my message to the end (and Florent's comment)? If you have a single thread, then a single long running request would exclude all other (maybe very short) requests until it finisches. I am convinced that you want some degree of concurrency to favour short running requests. 4 threads is not too a default. -- Dieter ___ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

There's only so much that one machine can do. If I understand the Zope framework, the idea is that read-to-write ratio for the ZODB is going to be much greater than one, meaning that there are going to be a lot more reads than writes. In this case, having some load balancing and ZEO client caching will make overall performance faster. However, if you're doing lots of writing to the ZODB, you'll probably need to explore ZEO even more in the area of mounting different ZODBs at different places in your ZEO clients' trees. Like some of the other people said, you probably should just tune it as needed. It's also a Bad Thing to be running your servers at or near capacity; you should leave plenty of headspace for usage spikes. I've certainly run into situations where Zope stuff was processor-bound and slowing everything down, but the RAM wasn't even 25% full. In cases like this, more zserver threads (or more ZEO clients) helps even things out.
