Max number of Thread allowed

I am writing a multi threading program.
is there any limit on max number of thread allowed?
if yes, how to check the limit?

For the language: no. It depends on your memory (every Thread has its own stack, etc.).
Kind regards,

  • Max number of threads in Java?

    Hi,
    I am running into a bug now that I am testing my working code. Basically, my program creates a bunch of objects that talk to each other. Each object is a thread, and at a given time (there is a one object that keeps track of time) a thread may choose to message another thread. My problem is that when I create more objects, my code doesn't run to completion. For example, when I have 10 objects talking to each other, things work fine. But if I have 15, they all run for a little bit, then the program seems to just hang and not do anything.
    Is there a limit as to how many threads I can have? If I was out of memory or something, I'd get an exception, right? But I don't get anything - it just seems like things "freeze up".

    15 threads? shouldn't be a problem.
    I think th emax threads allows runs in thousands..if not ten of thousands.Java process threads itself use about 600 or more threads. howevr, it could also be the underlying system restr8iction on the number of threads allow per process????
    for you case: it's highly likely you run into the max # of threads.
    I can only think of two reasons for your application to freeze:
    1. Deadlock
    if you have an object that is synchronized..than you might have run into a deadlock (race-condition)
    for example:
    Object A has the key for Object X , and waiting for Object Z
    Object B has the key for Object Z, and waiting for Object X
    as you can see..they will never gives up the lock....so you're in a dead lock.
    2. Low memory resource. (Memory - Paging and Thrashing)
    Each of your thread is using up the resouces (memory) and processing power.
    When you reach the max or near max and needs to create more memory..the garbage collector kick in
    and try to reclaim some unused memory. This can slow down your application dramatically if the garbage
    collector is invoke often.
    Also..paging is performed when you reach max memory..the operating system keep on paging your memory (usually happens when there's a lot of threads and not enough memory. If this happen..than it
    can cause your program to becomes freeze like....remeber..each thread is given a small amount of time to
    perform a task..if the time it takes to load a page for a thread is almost equals to context switch time..than
    no work is really done..and your program "freeze"
    solution..redesign you app to prevent thrashing.
    it is likely paging is the culprit..but i would not dismiss deadlock issues.

  • "max number of thread"

    We are running a java web app on a Ubuntu Oracle WebLogic server version 10.3.3.
    The java web app performs long polls with open tcp socket to keep the client connection open. The clients are long polling the WebLogic at 30 seconds.
    Currently we are not able to maintain stability for greater than 24 hours with approximately 200 simultaneous sessions on WebLogic server. Session to me is active client/server tcp connection. We have re-written our application to use continuations, but we are seeing ConcurrentModificationException errors in performance testing.
    Is there any setting in WebLogic for “max number of thread” that can handle?
    Edited by: user9316392 on Jul 8, 2010 11:07 AM

    First, WebLogic since 9.0 has a self-tuning thread pool where WLS will automatically grow and shrink the number of threads based on some internal algorithms. I'm not aware of a hard limit so theoretically there is no max thread count as long as the JVM has memory and WLS thinks more threads will help. You can read up on it here:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/dev2arch/2006/01/workload-management.html
    Practically, I wouldn't expect more than several hundred threads to be helpful.
    As for your situation, how does WLS become unstable? Out of memory, out of file descriptors, errors on new requests, etc. I think you're going to have to use some JVM tools to see what happens to your JVM over time. Is there a memory leak somewhere, is it non-heap memory, etc. JRockit Mission Control is helpful if running on JRockit. If you're on Sun Hotspot, them presumably you can use some of the Hotspot tools. You'll want to compare the state of the JVM towards the beginning of your load test, but after a slight warm-up period with a snapshot after the load test has been running for a long period of time.

  • Get Max no of Threads allowed by OS

    Is there a way in java to programatically get the maximum number of threads that are allowed to be created by an operating system?
    Thru my readings on forums, I gather that though there is no such limit for green-type of java threads (I am not sure what green-type means), other regular threads are bound by the max thread limit allowed by the kernel. Is there a way to programmtically get this limit?
    If there is no such API to get this information in Java directly, is there some command that can be invoked using the Runtim.exec() methods depending upon the OS type?
    Thank you

    It depends probably on the OS, the mem size, the number and type of CPUs... in short: Java isn't really supposed to care.
    There is no way, and IMO there also isn't really a need to know.

  • Max number of threads in a jvm

    Is there any constraint for the maximum number of threads that we can
    create in a particular JVM

    Why do you have to worry about that? I don't see a reason to create lots and lots of threads. The OS will usually spend most of the time doing context switches if you create more than a couple of thousand threads.

  • Max Number of threads per Process in Solaris 8

    I'm running into qpplication which crashes with a segfault when the LWP for that process hits about 255, i'm trying to find the maximum number of threads per process using sysconf and its returning -1
    #include <unistd.h>
    int
    main(void)
    printf("%ld\n",sysconf(_SC_THREAD_THREADS_MAX));
    return 0;
    I'm using gcc 3.3.2
    If anyone can tell me the maximum number of threads per process I would really appreicate it.
    Also the maximum number of open files per process.
    Thanks in advance

    Please make sure that you build a
    multithreaded program first (check with ldd).
    If anyone can tell me the maximum number of threads per process I would
    really appreicate it.
    Also the maximum number of open files per process. It depends on the architecture (x86/SPARC), OS version,
    64 or 32-bit, /etc/system, shell limitations (/usr/bin/ulimit) ...
    Search for "rlim_fd_max / rlim_fd_cur" on docs.sun.com too.

  • Max Number of apps allowed on the phone

    I heard some where that the max number of pages is 9. So, if you download a bunch of free apps and some paid apps, where does the apps go after 9 pages? I wish the next update from apple includes a filing tool. It would be nice to put apps in a folder in a similar catagory in the app store. For examples, all games in the game folder.

    It will slow down the backups when you sync. Having lots of apps will not slow down the iPhone, since only one app can run at a time, and the size of the apps are tiny - most are less than 1 MB (i.e. you would be hard-pressed to come anywhere close to filling your iPhone with apps).

  • HT1338 address book, max number of contacts allowed???

    I'm importing some Vcards into my macbook air address book, but its stock on 1043, is there a limit for the contacts that can be manage by this application?

    This isn't an iSync question, but there is no forum for Address Book, at least not one I found.
    http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=753
    i have a group with 160 contacts in it; when I try to send a group email it bounces back to me with the message "Too many contacts". I looked up this question in Address Book Help but there's nothing there to answer it.
    That's because it's not an Address Book issue - it's an email issue. You don't say who your email provider is, but most impose limits on the number of contacts a single email can be sent to, to prevent spammers from sending out emails to hundreds or thousands of people in one go.
    Is there a maximum number?
    Most likely.
    If so, what is it?
    You'd have to contact your email provider to ask them.
    Can I increase it?
    Most likely not.

  • How to find out the number of threads created under java vm at runtime

    our application seems to have hit the max number of threads that can be created under vm and the vm will just hang after that. that behavior seems to be consistent from an article that I read earlier.
    I wonder any way that java app can find out the number of threads currently created under vm?
    thanks in advance!

    If you are not starting an extra thread group you can use the Thread.activeCount method. But this willnot return all the threads, as there are some jvm threads, i.e. garbage collector. Also if you are running on a Unix type operating system then you can send a signal to the jvm to give you a thread dump, i think the signal is sighup.
    If the application is hanging i would of thought that you have a deadlock situation rather then the JVM not being able to create new threads, roughly how many threads should be running ??

  • Max number of persons in contact groups - Nokia Lu...

    The max number of persons allowed in a contact group is (as far as I know) restricted to 20 persons. This seems very low and I wonder why this restriction is applied. A limitation of 20 persons in a group is not practical. Any explanation or any idea if this can be changed in the future?

    As you've discovered the maximum number of contacts you can have in a contact group is 20.  If you'd like this limit to be changed to a higher number you really should post a request or add your votes to a similar request on Microsoft's user voice fo....  This is the place that Microsoft created to field user requests for enhanced options for windows phone.

  • Max no of threads

    Is there such a thing as a max number of threads in a midp j2me application. My application, which makes extensive use of threads is suffering from hanging, where is shouldn't. How do I remedy this?
    Thanks.
    Pier.

    I am porting a agent programming api to the pda platform. Each agent has it's own communications, class loading and other threads. These threads have to be alive so that they are ready to execute any time this particular agent receives messages from another agent.
    So my problem does not have anything to do with the number of threads?
    Does it have anything to do with how j2me handles threads? My program runs with no problems at all on the wireless toolkit emulator. BUt on the iPAQ, sometimes it hangs near the beginning where several threads are being initiated. If it gets past that stage, there are no problems though.
    Any guesses to help me? :)

  • Max number of 'OR' elements in a single query?

    Hi there,
    I'm running on 9i and was wondering if there is any limit on the max number of elements allowable in an Or query.
    i.e: column1 = value1 OR column2 = value2 OR etc.. etc..
    If there is a limit, what is it?
    Can it be configured?
    What is a good value for performance (all columns are in the same table)?
    Thanks for any input...

  • Tuning the good number of thread with Work Manager?

    Hi,
    I search some best practice or experience return on the max thread number on a weblogic managed server
    I try to explain: with WLS 8.1 and execute queue it was hard to tune the good number of thread but possible (with some processor and for an application we find that after 30 concurrent thread, there's lower performance because of switch on processeur, for others it was 45 for example)
    Now i can see sometimes more than 500 thread on one JVM and it seem to be very much for me!!
    we face some problem of response time in PRODUCTION, i can see sometimes more than 100 Stuck thread on a resource, so i think it's the reason of bad response time. But with Work Manager, it increase the number of thread to accept others request and the CPU stay at acceptable level (less than 50%) because the stuckthread are do nothing (waiting for resource)
    So i don't understand the good tuning to apply since WorkManager...ok it isn't normal to have a lot of stuck thread but if there's no matter about the max number of thread, is it useful to stop and restart managed server?
    do you think we can have have bad performance if there's a lot of thread?
    thank you for your experience return. If you have no idea just tell me how much thread you can see on your managed server in Production.

    up, up...
    we have always the same probleme in production: 50 stuck thread on each JVM since 15 days....
    the manages serveurs are in warning but don't seem to be disturb cause the work manager add more threads dynamicaly.
    Anyone have idea if this situation is a probleme for response time on other request ?
    reboot managed solve this situation but i would like to understand the consequence of this situation.
    thanks a lot for your experience.

  • Increasing number of Threads in the Thread Pool

    Hi,
    Using newFixedThreadPool ( int nbThreads )_, how do I increase the number of threads allowed dynamically in my application ?
    Thank you

    As the name of the method implies the Pool returned by that method supports only a fixed number of threads.
    If you want to be able to modify the number of threads after instantiation, then you could use a ThreadPoolExecutor. This class supports changing the number of threads it uses.

  • Max number of shots in a panorama

    Does anyone know the max number of shots allowed in a panorama stitching?  Have 17 shots from D4S and it shows a doc size of 176M/1.27G but only the first 4 shots are showing up in the edit window.  Will I have to stitch these as groups and then do a final stitch?

    I've never hit one and I've done some pretty big calculations (ie: CASE with lots of options). Whatever it is - if there is one - it must be pretty big.
