How many threads can be assigned to a single process as each process has own memory?

[BAT_MAN]

I was reading the book but could not find how many thread can be assigned to a single process since each process has its own memory.

Re: multithreading

I have two answer for that

1. We have schedular for this such as swapping saving the process into the hard disk and then reloading it so we have infinite number of threads.

2. We can have extra memory using paging technique

Re: multithreading

I think infinite no. of threads can not be assigned to a process. It depends on the memory of that process. Generally it is defined, how many maximum no. of threads you can attach in a process.

Re: multithreading

See,we cannot have infinite threads, because a fiber has a stack, and it is the address space required by the stack that is the limiting factor nearly all of the time.
