Once you understand how to control these number yourself the question doesn't seem so important. But for pure curiosity it's based on the amount of memory in the system divided by the default amount of memory consumed per thread. A bare minimum of 20 is set regardless of the above calculation. Again, none of this matters if you set values appropriate to your environment in the limits.conf.
