It is recommended to apply parallel computing in the following cases:
- Tasks that can be divided into independent subtasks. For example, processing array elements or performing similar operations on different data.
- Computationally intensive operations, where execution time is significantly reduced through parallelization.
- Processing large volumes of data, when sequential execution takes too long.
- Tasks with high input/output latency, where parallelism allows efficient use of waiting time.
In Go, goroutines and channels are often used for parallel computations, simplifying concurrent code writing.
Example of a simple parallel sum of elements using goroutines:
func sum(nums []int, c chan int) {
total := 0
for _, v := range nums {
total += v
}
c <- total
}
func main() {
nums := []int{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}
c := make(chan int)
go sum(nums[:len(nums)/2], c)
go sum(nums[len(nums)/2:], c)
x, y := <-c, <-c
fmt.Println("Total sum:", x+y)
}
Parallel calculations are effective when tasks can be parallelized without complex synchronization and when it truly speeds up execution.
