Changes to the Machine.config file

1. Access the machine.config file at the following location: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\Config
2. Search for the <configuration>node.

The table below lists the values that must be added for systems with 4, 8 and 16 cores:

Field	Values for 4 cores	Values for 8 cores	Values for 16 cores	Details
# Processor	2	2	2	Number of processors in the system
# Cores	2	4	8	Number of cores per processor
# Total Cores	4	8	16	Total cores
Requests/Core	12	12	12	This is a constant value
maxWorkerThreads	100	100	100	Max allowed value for this attribute is 100
minWorkerThreads	50	50	50	Half of max allowed
maxIoThreads	100	100	100	Max allowed value for this attribute is 100
minIoThreads	50	50	50	Half of max allowed
minFreeThreads	352	704	1408	#Total Cores * 88
minLocalRequestFreeThreads	304	608	1216	#Total Cores * 76
connectionManagement, maxconnection	48	96	192	#Cores * Requests/Core

As an example, configuration for an 8 cores machine is mentioned below:

<configuration>

<system.web>

<processModel autoConfig="false" enable="true" minWorkerThreads="50" minIoThreads="50" maxWorkerThreads="100" maxIoThreads="100" />

<httpRuntime minFreeThreads="704" minLocalRequestFreeThreads="608"/>

</system.web>

<system.net>

<connectionManagement>

<add address="*" maxconnection="96"/>

</connectionManagement>

</system.net>

</configuration>
