NAME

       aio_proc_threads - maximum number of process threads allowed in AIO pool

VALUES

DESCRIPTION

       The  implementation of POSIX AIO on HP-UX uses kernel threads to perform I/Os to filesystems that do not directly support true asynchronous
       I/O.  (This distinction is transparent to the user.)  The kernel threads are organized into worker-thread pools (called AIO  thread  pools)
       created	on  a  per-process basis.  Since a thread pool mechanism for I/Os introduces a variety of trade-offs concerning utilization of CPU
       time vs. I/O resources, four dynamic  tunables  are  available  to  customize  the  behavior  of  this  thread  pool:  aio_proc_threads(5),
       aio_proc_thread_pct(5),	aio_req_per_thread(5),	and  aio_monitor_run_sec(5).   Please see individual manpages for details on each of these
       tunables.

       The tunable specifies, on a per-process basis, the maximum number of process threads that can be used by the POSIX  AIO	system	as  kernel
       threads for issuing I/Os.

       This  tunable interacts with in the following way: the maximum number of threads used for AIO will be the smaller of the two values defined
       by the two tunables, i.e.:

       This allows the number of AIO threads to vary dynamically with but to always be bound by an absolute limit of

   Who Is Expected to Change This Tunable?
       System administrators that run applications requiring heavy usage of POSIX AIO to filesystems.

   Restrictions on Changing
       This tunable is dynamic.  Changes to to this tunable take effect immediately for new processes started after the change.  They also  impact
       existing processes, but the speed with which the changes propagate to running processes is determined by the tunable

   When Should the Value of This Tunable Be Raised?
       should be raised for applications that do not use very many threads for their own work, but desire high performance from the POSIX AIO sub-
       system.

   What Are the Side Effects of Raising the Value of This Tunable?
       Some applications that use POSIX AIO but also require a large number of threads may find that they are unable to create new threads.  (This
       could happen if the POSIX AIO thread pool ends up using too many of a process' allowable threads.)

       In addition, using a larger number of kernel threads might lead to increased CPU utilization.

   When Should the Value of This Tunable Be Lowered?
       should  be  lowered  when  POSIX AIO performance is acceptable but applications using POSIX AIO are seeing errors when trying to create new
       threads for other work.

   What Are the Side Effects of Lowering the Value of This Tunable?
       By ultimately reducing the number of threads available to handle POSIX AIO requests, overall I/O throughput  of	the  POSIX  AIO  subsystem
       could be reduced.

   What Other Tunables Should Be Changed at the Same Time as This One?
       interacts  with	this  tunable  by  setting  a  limit on the number of AIO threads based on a percentage of the maximum number of allowable
       process threads.  This allows the AIO thread pools to respond dynamically to changes in

       defines the desired relationship between the number of POSIX AIO kernel threads and the number of I/Os to be serviced.

       defines how often (in seconds) the AIO thread mechanism will monitor itself for adherence to the constraints defined by the tunables above.

WARNINGS

       All HP-UX kernel tunable parameters are release specific.  This parameter may be removed or have its meaning changed in future releases	of
       HP-UX.

       Installation  of  optional  kernel  software, from HP or other vendors, may cause changes to tunable parameter values.  After installation,
       some tunable parameters may no longer be at the default or recommended values.  For information about the effects of installation  on  tun-
       able  values,  consult  the documentation for the kernel software being installed.  For information about optional kernel software that was
       factory installed on your system, see at
