Maximum number of processes in Linux

[Irfan Habib]

Hi,

What is the maximum number of process which can run simultaneously in
linux? I need to create an application which requires 40,000 threads.
I was testing with far fewer numbers than that, I was getting
exceptions in pthread_create

Regards
Irfan
