ABSTRACT:
A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for dynamically managing a thread pool of reusable threads in a computer system. A thread manager is provided for managing the plurality of reusable threads. The thread manager maintains a count value of a number of the reusable threads in the thread pool and a thread use ratio value. The thread use ratio value is compared with a predefined threshold value. Responsive to the thread use ratio value greater than the predefined threshold value, the number of the reusable threads in the thread pool are reduced. The thread reduction process includes a two-phased fixed point iterative dynamic mechanism that is preemptable. In a first phase, reusable threads are identified and marked for removal from the thread pool; and in a second phase marked reusable threads are removed.
