I would spawn 4 worker goroutines that read the tasks from a common channel. Goroutines that are faster than others (because they are scheduled differently or happen to get simple tasks) will receive more task from this channel than others. In addition to that, I would use a sync.WaitGroup to wait for all workers to finish. The remaining part is just the creation of the tasks. You can see an example implementation of that approach here:
package main
import (
"os/exec"
"strconv"
"sync"
)
func main() {
tasks := make(chan *exec.Cmd, 64)
// spawn four worker goroutines
var wg sync.WaitGroup
for i := 0; i < 4; i++ {
wg.Add(1)
go func() {
for cmd := range tasks {
cmd.Run()
}
wg.Done()
}()
}
// generate some tasks
for i := 0; i < 10; i++ {
tasks <- exec.Command("zenity", "--info", "--text='Hello from iteration n."+strconv.Itoa(i)+"'")
}
close(tasks)
// wait for the workers to finish
wg.Wait()
}
There are probably other possible approaches, but I think this is a very clean solution that is easy to understand.
A simple approach to throttling (execute f()
N times but maximum maxConcurrency
concurrently), just a scheme:
package main
import (
"sync"
)
const maxConcurrency = 4 // for example
var throttle = make(chan int, maxConcurrency)
func main() {
const N = 100 // for example
var wg sync.WaitGroup
for i := 0; i < N; i++ {
throttle <- 1 // whatever number
wg.Add(1)
go f(i, &wg, throttle)
}
wg.Wait()
}
func f(i int, wg *sync.WaitGroup, throttle chan int) {
defer wg.Done()
// whatever processing
println(i)
<-throttle
}
Playground
I wouldn't probably call the throttle
channel "dummy". IMHO it's an elegant way (it's not my invention of course), how to limit concurrency.
BTW: Please note that you're ignoring the returned error from cmd.Run()
.
try this: https://github.com/korovkin/limiter
limiter := NewConcurrencyLimiter(10)
limiter.Execute(func() {
zenity(...)
})
limiter.Wait()
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/zenthangplus/goccm"
"math/rand"
"runtime"
)
func main() {
semaphore := goccm.New(runtime.NumCPU())
for {
semaphore.Wait()
go func() {
fmt.Println(rand.Int())
semaphore.Done()
}()
}
semaphore.WaitAllDone()
}
