Suggestions to workaround memory issues when creating a large number of IDL_IDLbridge sessions

 

Creating multiple child sessions of IDL_IDLbridge on Linux systems may result in error such as

"% Internal threading error: Unable to create thread (IDL_ThreadCreate() calling pthread_create()).
      Resource temporarily unavailable"

If it occurs on your system you may need to investigate the 2 suggestions below:

 

1. Be sure your /tmp partition has enough space allocated to it. Run the Linux command below to get a full summary of available and used disk space on /tmp partition

df -h /tmp

2. Check the ulimit parameters using the Linux command below

ulimit -a

and try to increase the 2 parameters called:

max user processes             

open files                                         

This link may help to increase the value of such parameters on Linux. The same instructions are valid for both RedHat and Debian based systems.
