Number of threads linux supports

[mahiapkum]

Hi,
I have to develop a server which will be running on a server class machine.To handle the clients i will be using threads.Can i know what is the maximum number of threads that can be created in linux.

How many threads your system can cope with is kernel dependant. Luckily, there are ways of testing that, which (oh what surprise) you can find by searching via google. For example, I just searched for linux maximum threads and it came up with this page which has a testing program written in C and (quite possibly out of date) instructions on how to increase that number. If you want to do so, I'd just search on google (or any other search engine of your choice) and try to find something. It's normally a quick and effective method.
