Hi
I was making som tests to see the maximum number of threads i could create
with the new linux thread library (NPTL). I had heard foks having up to
100 000 threads at the same time so i wanted to try for my self.
I used the 2.6.1 kernel with glibc with NPTL support, I used Sun JVM
v1.4.2 wich s

I got a OutOfMemoryException, but there was plenty of system memory left
(the JVM only ha about 10% of system physical memory).
Address space might be a limiting factor in a 32-bit machine. Assumin

Hi
I have successfuly folowed your advise. After rekompiling the kernel so that I now can
address 4G of memory, change the max #processes plus changed the thread stacksize i
now can create more than 12 000 threads (which is pretty cool i thing), the limit must
now be the 4G addressspace limit.
