More than 1024 file descriptors.
Message 1 in thread
Hi,
I recently did a scalability test of my server application, and it has a
problem with more than ~1000 or so clients are connected, as the
descriptors start being larger than FD_SETSIZE. The server still had
plenty of CPU capacity at that point, so this is a real scalability
problem for me.
This same problem also limits the number of threads one can open, as
each thread opens up a pipe for message signaling.
Does anyone know if TrollTech plans to address this?
If they don't, would they accept patches to use poll() or epoll()?
