[SGVLUG] POSIX Thread Limitation (increase?)

[Sean O'Donnell]

Hi All,

I'm currently doing some performance testing of a multi-threaded 
application that seems to be reaching it's limit of (approx. 300) threads.

I was curious if there is a way to increase the posix thread-limit 
without having to recompile the kernel or patch any libraries (such as 
glibc, which I've read is one way to do it).

Can this be achieved with the 'ulimit' command? or is there a variable 
in a configuration file somewhere that I can simply modify?

I've been searching google and have found similar questions but no 
answers, aside from 'pacthing glibc', which I'd like to avoid doing.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

-Sean
