How many threads can I run concurrently?

Question

A comment to another of my questions says that I can only run \"so many\" threads concurrently, a notion which I have seen elsewhere.

As a threading novice, how can

Answer 1

It depends on hardware as you're (probably) not using a theoretical computer but a physical hardware one, so you have limited resources.

Read: Does Windows have a limit of 2000 threads per process?

Furthermore, even if you could run 5000+ threads, depending on your hardware, that could run much slower than a 10 thread equivalent program. I think you should take a look at thread pooling.
