In Go, the number of goroutines does not match the number of operating system threads because goroutines are lightweight threads managed by the Go runtime, not by the OS.
Main reasons:
- Multiplexing: The Go runtime distributes many goroutines over a limited number of system threads and switches between them efficiently.
- Lightweight: Creating a goroutine requires much fewer resources than creating a system thread.
- Go scheduler: Manages the execution of goroutines, allowing thousands of them to run on multiple threads.
Therefore, the number of goroutines cannot be directly mapped to the number of threads — usually, many goroutines run on a single thread, which allows efficient resource utilization and simplifies concurrent programming.
Example:
runtime.GOMAXPROCS(4) // Sets the number of OS threads
for i := 0; i < 1000; i++ {
go func(id int) {
fmt.Println("Goroutine", id)
}(i)
}
Here, 1000 goroutines will operate on 4 OS threads.
