Go за Прикладом: Worker Pools

In this example we’ll look at how to implement a worker pool using goroutines and channels.

package main
import (
    "fmt"
    "time"
)

Here’s the worker, of which we’ll run several concurrent instances. These workers will receive work on the jobs channel and send the corresponding results on results. We’ll sleep a second per job to simulate an expensive task.

func worker(id int, jobs <-chan int, results chan<- int) {
    for j := range jobs {
        fmt.Println("worker", id, "started  job", j)
        time.Sleep(time.Second)
        fmt.Println("worker", id, "finished job", j)
        results <- j * 2
    }
}
func main() {

In order to use our pool of workers we need to send them work and collect their results. We make 2 channels for this.

    const numJobs = 5
    jobs := make(chan int, numJobs)
    results := make(chan int, numJobs)

This starts up 3 workers, initially blocked because there are no jobs yet.

    for w := 1; w <= 3; w++ {
        go worker(w, jobs, results)
    }

Here we send 5 jobs and then close that channel to indicate that’s all the work we have.

    for j := 1; j <= numJobs; j++ {
        jobs <- j
    }
    close(jobs)

Finally we collect all the results of the work. This also ensures that the worker goroutines have finished. An alternative way to wait for multiple goroutines is to use a WaitGroup.

    for a := 1; a <= numJobs; a++ {
        <-results
    }
}
