How many I can make threads per process ?

Hi,
How many I can make thread per process ?
The follwing is my code.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <pthread.h>

void* function( void* arg )
{
printf( “This is thread %d\n”, pthread_self() );
sleep(999);
return( 0 );
}

int main( void )
{
int i;

for (i = 0; i < 300000; i++)
pthread_create( NULL, NULL, &function, NULL );

sleep( 10 );
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

When I executed this code I could make 32768 threads, but I want to make
300000.
Is it imposible that I make threads more than 32768 ?

Thanks,
Hoon

I’ll bite…

Why do you think you need to start 300,000 threads?

It is my fault that I told you How many I can make threads per process.
It’s not threads but process. How many I can make process.
I want to make 300,000 PPP(Point-to-Point Protocol) sessions.

Thanks in advance,

Well, they HAVE been advertising QNX 6 as being very scalable :slight_smile:

Oh yeah, if you have 300 machines, you can spawn 1000 processes
per machine, and they still talk to each other, doesn’t that
scalable enough ? :slight_smile:

What hardware are you going to use to connect 300,000 serial ports?

OK, Xiaodan. So is 1000 the current limit of processes per system?

Obviously this guy is trying to set up an ISP. His question make me think
of other things besides number of processes. Like how do you connect
300,000 serial ports, 300,000 modems, how big a power supply wouold you
need, how much memory would you need, and would your system EVER come out of
the ISR?

As I made the “scalable” comment, I had a picture in my mind of a large room
filled with a HUGE tangle of several hundred thousand cables. Buried in the
middle somewhere is this poor QNX 6 computer. :slight_smile:

PPP session can go over ethernet (PPPoE)

Heh, of cause not. I just pick an easy number.

So “what is the limit”? I am not really sure, but guessing sth
about 65535. Kernel gurus should correct me if I am wrong.

Obviously this guy is trying to set up an ISP. His question make me think
of other things besides number of processes. Like how do you connect
300,000 serial ports, 300,000 modems, how big a power supply wouold you

Yeah, you probably hit hardware limitation first, that’s why I don’t
think “within one machine” is the solution.

I made a call simulator(CDMA 2000-1x) in Linux box… so I wanna ‘porting’
this simulator into QNX 6.
Up to now this simulator supports 2,000 calls, that is, this simulator
executes 2,000 ppp process.
2,000 calls is so small that I want to extend to 300,000 calls…That is why
I’m going to make 300,000 process.

Thanks in advance,
Hoon

Hi Hoon…

I wonder if you could let every one know how your simulation goes?
