The 'runtime' Package
Explore how Go's runtime package enables control over CPU allocation to optimize concurrent program performance. Understand the difference between concurrency and parallelism, and learn to use GOMAXPROCS and NumCPU functions to adjust CPU utilization for efficient Go applications.

Hopefully, you are fully aware by now that concurrency is not the same as parallelism. Now, Go provides us with building blocks of concurrency such as goroutines and channels which allow us to solve the problem concurrently. We can solve the problem through parallelism by running concurrent operations on additional CPUs. This is only possible if the ...
