NAME
       max_thread_proc	-  defines  the	 maximum  number of concurrent threads
       allowed per process.

VALUES
   Failsafe
   Default
   Allowed values
   Recommended values
DESCRIPTION
       is a dynamic tunable that limits the maximum number of threads  allowed
       per  process  on the system.  When tuning the maximum number of threads
       allowed per process will be the new value of No process will be able to
       create new threads such that the total count of its threads exceeds

   Who is Expected to Change This Tunable?
       System  administrators that run applications on their systems requiring
       a high number of threads per process.

   Restrictions on Changing
       The effect of tuning on	existing  processes  is	 undefined.   However,
       existing threads will not be effected.

   When Should the Value of This Tunable Be Raised?
       The  value of should be raised if there is a need to run an application
       that requires a higher number of threads per process than what is  cur‐
       rently  set  to	accommodate.   Also, if thread creation fails with the
       value of then it could indicate that the has  been  reached.   However,
       reaching	 is  not the only reason why a thread creation could fail with
       may be returned if the system tunable has been reached or memory on the
       system is exhausted.

   What Are the Side Effects of Raising the Value?
       A  group	 of  processes may be able to exhaust the system wide limit of
       threads on the system.

   When Should the Value of This Tunable Be Lowered?
       If you feel that it is necessary to limit the number of threads allowed
       per process.

   What Are the Side Effects of Lowering the Value?
       Some  applications  which need a high number of threads may behave dif‐
       ferently or fail to operate.

   What Other Tunable Values Should Be Changed at the Same Time?
       You may want to look at the value of

WARNINGS
       All HP-UX kernel tunable parameters are release specific.  This parame‐
       ter  may	 be  removed or have its meaning changed in future releases of
       HP-UX.

       Installation of optional kernel software, from HP or other vendors, may
       cause  changes  to  tunable parameter values.  After installation, some
       tunable parameters may no longer be at the default or recommended  val‐
       ues.  For information about the effects of installation on tunable val‐
       ues, consult the documentation for the kernel software being installed.
