I'm building a GRPC server in GO and I want increase its performance. I've increased my machine and put 2CPUS in order to make it better but I noticed that my server doesn't use all cpu cores and I couldn't find a way to fix it (I've run some tests to make the server worker harder). It seems like my server uses 1 cpu a lot and the other not. My load average stay above 1 what means that my server is full of requests but when I see the performance in netdata there's only one CPU working.
This is my grpc code:
package main
import (
"fmt"
"runtime"
"log"
"net"
"google.golang.org/grpc"
"golang.org/x/net/context"
"google.golang.org/grpc/reflection"
pb "teste/prototeste"
)
func (s *server) Test(ctx context.Context, n *pb.TestRequest) (*pb.TestReply, error){
return &pb.TestReply{Message: n.Name}, nil
}
type server struct{}
const (
port = ":50051"
)
func main(){
numOfCores := runtime.NumCPU()
fmt.Println(numOfCores)
runtime.GOMAXPROCS(numOfCores)
lis, err := net.Listen("tcp", port)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("failed to listen: %v", err)
}
s := grpc.NewServer()
pb.RegisterGreeterServer(s, &server{})
// Register reflection service on gRPC server.
reflection.Register(s)
s.Serve(lis)
}
Notice that in Serve function there's a goroutine that allow the server accept multiple requests in parallel.
Any tips to how to solve this and make my server use 2 cpus?
