Question

Given the following code:

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "math/rand"
    "time"
)

func main() {
    for i := 0; i < 3; i++ {
        go f(i)
    }

    // prevent main from exiting immediately
    var input string
    fmt.Scanln(&input)
}

func f(n int) {
    for i := 0; i < 10; i++ {
        dowork(n, i)
        amt := time.Duration(rand.Intn(250))
        time.Sleep(time.Millisecond * amt)
    }
}

func dowork(goroutine, loopindex int) {
    // simulate work
    time.Sleep(time.Second * time.Duration(5))
    fmt.Printf("gr[%d]: i=%d
", goroutine, loopindex)
}

Can i assume that the 'dowork' function will be executed in parallel?

Is this a correct way of achieving parallelism or is it better to use channels and separate 'dowork' workers for each goroutine?

Answer 1

Your code will run concurrently, but not in parallel. You can make it run in parallel by setting GOMAXPROCS; see the article https://www.ardanlabs.com/blog/2014/01/concurrency-goroutines-and-gomaxprocs.html for a good summary.

It's not clear exactly what you're trying to accomplish here, but it looks like a perfectly valid way of achieving concurrency to me.
