Distributed Computing with Go

Serial task execution with goroutines

We took a list of tasks and wrote a program to execute them in a linear and sequential manner. However, we want to execute the tasks concurrently! Let's start by first introducing goroutines for the split tasks and see how it goes. We will only show the code snippet where the code actually changed here:

/******************************************************************** We start by making Writing Mail & Listening Audio Book concurrent. *********************************************************************/ // Tasks that will be executed in parts // Writing Mail func writeAMail() { fmt.Println("Wrote 1/3rd of the mail.") go continueWritingMail1() // Notice the addition of 'go' keyword. } func continueWritingMail1() ...
