Re: [go-nuts] help with thread limit

[Robert Engels]

You can use cpuctrl or similar to limit the number of visible cores when you start the process.  On Jan 31, 2024, at 8:43 PM, Steve Roth <st...@rothskeller.net> wrote:  I am running Go code on a shared web hosting server from a major hosting company.  Using cgroups, they limit the number of threads any user can create to 25.  Up until a week ago, they had me running on a server with 24 cores, and everything worked fine.  Now they've moved me to a new server with 128 cores.  The Go runtime thinks it should be able to create that many threads, and it can't, and all of my Go programs crash with, "runtime: failed to create new OS thread". Setting GOMAXPROCS doesn't help this, since it only controls the number of active threads, not the total number of threads.  The Go runtime still thinks it can create as many threads as there are cores, and crashes the program when it's blocked from doing so. Is there any way around this?  Or is Go just completely unusable in an environment where the per-user process limit is less than the number of cores?
