Re: [go-nuts] Limit goroutine resource usage?

2018-08-16 Thread 'Keith Randall' via golang-nuts
There's no equivalent of the methods you mentioned.  You can't limit a 
goroutine from another goroutine, because (among other reasons) there's no 
way to name it.
A goroutine can limit itself a bit by calling runtime.Gosched, or more 
forcefully using time.Timer.
Andrey's suggestion of limiting how fast you feed it work is also a good 
idea.

it seems from your suggested solutions that you're concerned about cpu
usage. does the goroutine communicate with anything? you can limit its
resources by feeding it less data (via a limiter goroutine) or by
editing it itself do less work (via editing the code)? there is
nothing inherently needed from the operating system to throttle it, it
can all be done via go communication patterns. for example we often
limit how much work can be done by using a n-sized buffered channel
that ensures only n items are processed at a certain time.

[go-nuts] Limit goroutine resource usage?

2018-08-15 Thread Olivia Nelson
I'm trying to limit the CPU usage of a goroutine. Is there anything like 
SuspendThread on windows and SIGSTOP/SIGCONTINUE on linux?

I'm not sure if it's possible.
