How to collect values from N goroutines executed in a specific order?

Goroutines run concurrently, independently, so without explicit synchronization you can’t predict execution and completion order. So as it is, you can’t pair returned numbers with the input numbers. You can either return more data (e.g. the input number and the output, wrapped in a struct for example), or pass pointers to the worker functions (launched … Read more

Max number of goroutines

If a goroutine is blocked, there is no cost involved other than: memory usage slower garbage-collection The costs (in terms of memory and average time to actually start executing a goroutine) are: Go 1.6.2 (April 2016) 32-bit x86 CPU (A10-7850K 4GHz) | Number of goroutines: 100000 | Per goroutine: | Memory: 4536.84 bytes | Time: … Read more

Multiple goroutines listening on one channel

Yes, it’s complicated, But there are a couple of rules of thumb that should make things feel much more straightforward. prefer using formal arguments for the channels you pass to go-routines instead of accessing channels in global scope. You can get more compiler checking this way, and better modularity too. avoid both reading and writing … Read more
