I'm using GoLang to run two websocket clients (one for private and one for public data) simultaneously using goroutines. On the surface, everything seems to work fine. Both clients receive data transmitted from the websocket server. I believe I may have set something up wrong, however, since when I check activity monitor, my program consistently has between 500 - 1500 Idle Wake Ups and is using >200% of my CPU. This doesn't seem normal for something as simple as two websocket clients.
I've put the code in snippets so there's less to read (hopefully that makes it easier to understand), but if you need the entire code, I can post that as well. Here is the code in my main func that runs the ws clients
comms := make(chan os.Signal, 1)
signal.Notify(comms, os.Interrupt, syscall.SIGTERM)
ctx := context.Background()
ctx, cancel := context.WithCancel(ctx)
var wg sync.WaitGroup
wg.Add(1)
go pubSocket.PubListen(ctx, &wg, &activeSubs, testing)
wg.Add(1)
go privSocket.PrivListen(ctx, &wg, &activeSubs, testing)
<- comms
cancel()
wg.Wait()
Here is the code for how the clients run the go routines
func (socket *Socket) PubListen(ctx context.Context, wg *sync.WaitGroup, subManager *ConnStatus, testing bool) {
defer wg.Done()
for {
select {
case <- ctx.Done():
log.Println("closing public socket")
socket.Close()
return
default:
socket.OnTextMessage = func(message string, socket Socket) {
log.Println(message)
pubJsonDecoder(message, testing)
//tradesParser(message);
}
}
}
}
func (socket *Socket) PrivListen(ctx context.Context, wg *sync.WaitGroup, subManager *ConnStatus, testing bool) {
defer wg.Done()
for {
select {
case <- ctx.Done():
log.Println("closing private socket")
socket.Close()
return
default:
socket.OnTextMessage = func(message string, socket Socket) {
log.Println(message)
}
}
}
}
Any ideas on why the Idle Wake Ups are so high? Should I be using multithreading instead of concurrency? Thanks in advance for any help!
CodePudding user response：
You're wasting CPU here (superfluous loop):
for {
// ...
default:
// High CPU usage here.
}
}
Try something like this:
func (socket *Socket) PubListen(ctx context.Context, wg *sync.WaitGroup, subManager *ConnStatus, testing bool) {
defer wg.Done()
defer socket.Close()
socket.OnTextMessage = func(message string, socket Socket) {
log.Println(message)
pubJsonDecoder(message, testing)
//tradesParser(message);
}
<-ctx.Done()
log.Println("closing public socket")
}
func (socket *Socket) PrivListen(ctx context.Context, wg *sync.WaitGroup, subManager *ConnStatus, testing bool) {
defer wg.Done()
defer socket.Close()
socket.OnTextMessage = func(message string, socket Socket) {
log.Println(message)
}
<-ctx.Done()
log.Println("closing private socket")
}

tl/dr: websockets are hard :)
It looks like you might have a couple of spinners. You are assigning the handler function for OnTextMessage() in the default case of a for - select statement. The default case always executes if no other cases are ready. Because there is nothing that blocks in the default case, that for loop just spins out of control. Both goroutines spinning like this will likely peg 2 cores. Websockets are network IO and those goroutines are likely to run in parallel. This is why you are seeing 200% utilization.
Take a look at the gorilla/websocket library. I'm not going to say that it is better or worse than any other websocket library, I have a lot of experience with it.
https://github.com/gorilla/websocket
Below is an implementation that I have used many times. The way it is set up is you register handler functions that are triggered when a certain message is received. Say one of the values in your message was "type" : "start-job", the websocket server will call the handler you assigned to the "start-job" websocket message. It feels like writing endpoints for an http router.

This implementation was for a web application. This is a simplified version of the client side in javascript. You can handle many concurrent connections with this implementation and all you do to communicate is define objects/structs that contain a responseID that matches a case in the switch below, it is basically one long switch statement, serialize it and send it to the other side, and the other side will ack. I have some version of this running in several production environments.

Assigning handler functions over and over again in an infinite loop is definitely not going to work.
