Title: Re: Theoretical thread limit
I’d suggest looking at the data structure used by the kernel to represent a thread, and poking around in the kernel source at places where threads are defined or used in the OS, such as scheduling. You may also find it useful to trace through what happens when a new thread is created (e.g. pthread_create(..)).
Any architectural differences would be found in the appropriate architecture subdirectory (i386, ppc).

Hi all,
I am currently studying operating systems at university and am doing an assignment based around investigating the differences between kernel threads and user threads. Anyhow, I need to be able to find what the theoretical maximum for my machine is. I am running the x86 version of OSX 10.4.7 Tiger.
Many thanks in advance,
Guy Sherman
