Research direction

Start by locating DAWN's default LIMIT setting and reviewing how the current 256-thread and buffer-size assumptions apply on Mac systems. Determine how an automatic system-limit calculation should select a value for different thread and buffer constraints; done means the setting adapts to the available system limits and improves performance.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The default limit setting for DAWN may be too small.
The number of threads is 256, but on a Mac we can use 1024, or the buffer size may be less than 1GB.

A function to automatically find the system limit is needed to achieve optimal performance.
