How many types of threads are there?
Six Most Common Types of Threads
However, threads and connections are divided into six main types: UN/UNF. NPT/NPTF. BSPP (BSP, parallel)
How many threads should be used?
General rule of thumb for threading an application: 1 thread per CPU Core. On a quad core PC that means 4. As was noted, the XBox 360 however has 3 cores but 2 hardware threads each, so 6 threads in this case.
What happens if you create too many threads?
Second, running an excessive number of threads results in overhead due to the way they compete for limited hardware resources. It's critical to distinguish between hardware and software threads. Programs create threads, which are referred to as “software threads.” Threads on hardware are actual physical resources.
Would it make sense to limit the number of threads in a server process?
Would it make sense to limit the number of threads in a server process? Yes, for two reasons. First, threads require memory for setting up their own private stack. Consequently, having many threads may consume too much memory for the server to work properly.
