I remember Joe Armstrong saying something like 2kB in his talks, for an Erlang process. That's 1/128 of 256kB.

- my-next-account 7mo ago2KiB is a peculiar size. Typical page size is 4KiB, and you probably want to allocate two pages - one for the stack and one for a guard page for stack overflow protection. That means that a fibers' minimal size ought to be 8KiB.
- surajrmal 7mo agoYou should look into how go manages goroutines. It is indeed 2kib stacks by default without the need for guard pages. They use a different mechanism to determine overflows. Other runtimes can do similar things.
- my-next-account 7mo agoAha, yeah. It utilizes the compiler to insert guards at each function prologue, determining the remaining stack size.
