Does an IIS web garden use threads or processes?

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11733418

Question

When you set an application pool's Maximum Worker Processes attribute in IIS are you actually setting the number of processes or the number of threads?

Was it helpful?

Solution

These are processes (w3wp instances). Each process will have multiple threads.
