Maximum running web worker html5 at the same

Is there any maximum count of web worker that can be run at the same time? Thanks a lot.

Solution

  • Yes and no. With Web Workers, there's no hard limit but you are limited by the available CPU and memory.

    There's a rather large amount of CPU and memory overhead that comes with each worker so you can bring the machine to a grind if you spin off a lot of workers.

    I'd say Web Workers are best used for "long running" background tasks of 100 milliseconds or more.
