Number of process in Session 0
-
Hai All, I am creating 200 process simultaneously from another process which is running as service in Windows server 2008 R2 machine. But only 95-100 process are getting created. After that, the remaining process will be terminated abnormally. Please let me know if there is any limitation in Windows server regarding the number of processes. -Cvaji

How did you validate that the processes are terminated abnormally? Are all processes the same? If they are the same, you really shouldn't be doing this.

Antiviruses will target this as a malicious application.

I am slightly disagree with this, i am not sure about capibility of Windows 2008 Server r2 and never spawn 100 same process from service. However, I working/designing an architecture, that will scale Up/Down according workload demand, basically instead on creating thread for each process, I have a controller service, which will spawn the process, to work independently and process the wrok accordingly. Basically idea behind the design is intead of stessing on multithreaded architecture, use multiprocess architecture!, if one application crash due some reason, you have atleast same type of application doing similiar work.

Totally depend upon, what system resource it using!, if it just interacting with some DB, antivirus will do nothing!

I agree with you, but I would be suspicious if 200 processes are created. It is going to take up too much resources.

Its not interacting with any DB. "95 processes are started and 96th is not getting started." Is that related to antivirus? That means antivirus will allow 95 processes and will restrict up to 95?
No its not related to any antivirus. Each process will take up a lot of resources. You're probably running out of it. Take a look at this blog entry - Pushing the Limits of Windows: Processes and Threads[^] What I meant about the antivirus is that such behavior is seen mostly in malicious applications and so antiviruses could target such applications. And so I would never recommend or approve such a design.

yeap i agree, too many process will take too many resources.Also, it's depend how you write your process. Simpler design approch would be, the application should be console based (so we get rid of hugh GDI resources from our progams). Should have clean architecture and should utilize deadlock prevention techniques!.

Hi, Some humble comments: 1.) I would recommend redesigning your application so that it does not require 200 processes to be created. I cannot think of many reasons why this would be necessary. I can think of hundreds of reasons why this would be undesirable. 2.) The number of processes is mostly limited by the amount of RAM available to the OS. Adding more RAM will probably allow more threads/processes. 3.) You should investigate some of the linker options such as "/STACK" and "/HEAP" to minimize application resource usage. Try to minimize the amount of GDI objects and file descriptors used by your application. 4.) If your process is multi-threaded utilize the STACK_SIZE_PARAM_IS_A_RESERVATION creation flag when you create a thread. Thats all I can think of for now. Best Wishes, -David Delaune
