How Much Memory Do You Need in 2024 to Run 1 Million Concurrent Tasks?
Let's launch N concurrent tasks, where each task waits for 10 seconds and then the program exists after all tasks finish. The number of tasks is controlled by the command line argument.
Coroutines are computer program components that allow execution to be suspended and resumed, generalizing subroutines for cooperative multitasking. Coroutines are well-suited for implementing familiar program components such as cooperative tasks, exceptions, event loops, iterators, infinite lists and pipes.
.NET also offers NativeAOT compilation since .NET 7, which compiles the code to the final binary directly so that it no longer needs a VM to run managed code. So we added the benchmark for NativeAOT as well.
While there's a new variant of JVM called GraalVM. GraalVM also offers native image, which is a similar concept to NativeAOT in .NET. So we added the benchmark for GraalVM as well.
All programs were launched using the release mode if available, and support for internationalization and globalization was disabled as we did't have libicu in our test environment.
