Maximum number of threads per process in Linux?

Question

What is the maximum number of threads that can be created by a process under Linux?

How (if possible) can this value be modified?

Answer 1

Depends on your system, just write a sample program [ by creating processes in a loop ] and check using ps axo pid,ppid,rss,vsz,nlwp,cmd. When it can no more create threads check nlwp count [ nlwp is the number threads ] voila you got your fool proof answer instead of going thru books
