Adding and Using Thread Pools
You can use thread pools to allocate a certain number of threads to a specific
service.
Another use for thread pools is for running thread-unsafe plugins. By defining a
pool with the maximum number of threads set to 1, only one request is allowed
into the specified service function.
When you add a thread pool, the information you specify includes the minimum
and maximum number of threads, the stack size, and the queue size.
For more information, see the Netscape Enterprise Server Performance Tuning, Sizing,
and Scaling Guide.
The Native Thread Pool and Generic Thread
Pools (Windows NT)
On Windows NT, you can use two types of thread pools: the native thread pool
(
NativePool
) and additional generic thread pools.
To edit the native thread pool, access the Native Thread Pool page in the Server
Manager.
You can create as many generic thread pools as you want, for as many purposes as
you want. To create generic thread pools, access the Generic Thread Pools page in
the Server Manager.
Thread Pools (UNIX/Linux)
Since threads on UNIX/Linux are always OS-scheduled (as opposed to
user-scheduled) UNIX/Linux users do not need to use the
NativePool
, and do not
have a Server Manager page for editing its settings. However, UNIX/Linux users
can still create thread pools. To create thread pools, access the Thread Pools page in
the Server Manager.
Editing Thread Pools
Once you have added a thread pool, you can change the values of the thread pool
settings (minimum threads, maximum threads and so on) through the Server
Manager.
