i have a linux machine lscpu output says. CPU(s): 80 On-line CPU(s) list: 0-79 Thread(s) per core: 2 which means maximum 160 threads can be created.

the output of /proc/sys/kernel/threads-max 1731877

this is indicating i can create maximum of 1731877 thread can be created.

can any one help what is the difference between cpu core threads and the kernal max threads. question may basic but will be helpful for my understanding. thanks in advance .
