Capacity, Scaling, and Limits impacts summary

 

Capacity, Scaling, and Limits Impacts Summary

This impact class contains impacts related to HP-UX Capacity, Scaling, and Limits changes. Many of these impacts may require you to modify your source code.

Newer versions of HP-UX may contain enhancements to certain default per-process limits and other scalability factors. While many of these limits are controllable through tunable variables in the kernel and other mechanisms, the default values for these limits may be different from one release of HP-UX to another. In addition, differences exist for 32-bit and 64-bit applications as noted in the table below.

HP-UX 11i Default Process Resource Limits

  HP-UX 11i 32-bit Applications HP-UX 11i 64-bit Applications
cputime unlimited unlimited
filesize unlimited unlimited
datasize 256 MB 1 GB
stacksize 8 MB 256 MB
coredumpsize unlimited unlimited
descriptors 1024 1024
memoryuse unlimited unlimited

Run-Time Limits

 
Run-time limits affect a program's run-time capabilities, but are not controlled on a per-process basis. These limits, such as the number of threads per process, are kernel tunable parameters. The following table lists some of the more important limits that affect a process.

Default Run-Time Limits

HP-UX 11i Description
Name Default  
maxfiles 60 Soft file limit per process
maxfiles_lim 1024 Hard file limit per process
max_thread_proc 256 Maximum number of threads allowed in each process
maxuprc 256 Maximum number of user processes
nfile 8192 Maximum number of open files system-wide
nflocks 200 Maximum number of file locks system-wide

 

Note: To include only Capacity, Scaling, and Limits impacts when running the scansummary and scandetail tools, use the option:
  +C CAP
To exclude these impacts, use the option:
  -C CAP
