How Many Logical Processors Used By Current Process in Golang?

The task is to find the number of logical CPUs the process can be running on at a given time. Here are the few examples.

Approach 1: Using the NumCPU function

NumCPU  returns the number of logical CPUs usable by the current process.

Syntax: 

func NumCPU() int

Example :

Go

// Golang program to find the
// number of logical processors
// used by current process

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "runtime"
)

// Main function
func main() {

    // Using the NumCPU function
    fmt.Println(runtime.NumCPU())
}

Output:

8

Approach 2: Using the GOMAXPROCS function

GOMAXPROCS sets the maximum number of CPUs that can be executing simultaneously and returns the previous setting.

Syntax: 

func GOMAXPROCS(n int) int

Example :

Go

// Golang program to find the
// number of logical processors
// used by current process

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "runtime"
)

// Main function
func main() {

    // Using the GOMAXPROCS function
    fmt.Println(runtime.GOMAXPROCS(0))
}

Output:

8
