The Go Scheduler

Discover how the Go scheduler handles concurrency by efficiently managing goroutines, OS threads, and logical processors. Understand the m:n scheduling, work-stealing strategy, and the role of GOMAXPROCS to optimize concurrent Go programs.

m:nm:n scheduling

The OS kernel scheduler is responsible for the execution of the threads of a program. Similarly, the Go runtime has its own scheduler, which is responsible for the execution of the goroutines using a technique known as m:n scheduling, where mm ...
