Hi Team,

Informix IDS supports upto 32K threads according to
most IDS realease notes.
My question is What sort of a machine you are looking
at to support this many
threads??
This came to my mind when considering max. num of
threads(or connections that matter) that each CPU or
NET VP process can support.
Because we can specify a number of connections as 999
through onmonitor
for each CPU or NET type virtual processor, this means
it exceeds max. value for
this parameter,256 occording to IDS release notes.
If we got a machine with 10 physical processors, the
Max CPU VPs we can allocate is 9.
That means maximum no of connections(considering each
connection supports only one thread) it can support is
= 256*9 =1994
To support 32K threads we need min 32000 *10/1994 =
160 CPU OR NET processes.
That means atleast 159 Physical processors.
Where do you find this sort of a machine ??
If I am wrong in calculating this value, what is the
correct way.
That leads us to the simple question,
How many physical processors we need to support 32K
threads??

Any thoughts.


Regards,
SPUTNIK
