Allowed values

0 - 2147483647

DESCRIPTION

This tunable defines the number of multiprocessor (MP) STREAMS scheduler daemons to run on systems containing more than one processor. Note that uniprocessor (UP) systems do not use an MP scheduler daemon, but both MP and UP systems always have one UP STREAMS scheduler (supsched).

If the tunable value is set to zero, the system determines how many daemons to run, based on the number of processors in the system. If the tunable value is set to a positive, non-zero value, that is the number of smpsched daemons that will be created on an MP system.

Note: This tunable is for use by specific HP products only. It may be removed in future HP-UX releases.
