When exactly can goroutines transition to the local execution queue?

Answer from AI

Goroutines in Go can transition to a local run queue in the following cases:

  • When a goroutine is created using go and the scheduler places it in the queue for execution on the current thread (P).
  • After blocking or waiting, when the goroutine becomes ready to execute, it is returned to the local queue.
  • During load balancing, the scheduler may move goroutines between queues, but the local queue is the main place where a goroutine waits to be run on a specific thread.

Thus, the local queue is a queue of goroutines that are ready to execute and waiting for CPU time on a specific thread (P).
