The Go programming language

Changing from 4 kB to 8 kB brings significant improvement on a variety of the Go 1 benchmarks, on both amd64 and 386 systems. Significant runtime reductions: amd64 386 GoParse -14% -1% GobDecode -12% -20% GobEncode -64% -1% JSONDecode -9% -4% JSONEncode -15% -5% Template -17% -14% In the longer term, khr's new stacks will avoid needing to make this decision at all, but for Go 1.2 this is a reasonable stopgap that makes performance significantly better. Demand paging should mean that if the second 4 kB is not used, it will not be brought into memory, so the change should not adversely affect resident set size. The same argument could justify bumping as high as 64 kB on 64-bit machines, but there are diminishing returns after 8 kB, and using 8 kB limits the possible unintended memory overheads we are not aware of.

This is the source code repository for the Go programming language. For documentation about how to install and use Go, visit http://golang.org/ or load doc/install.html in your web browser. After installing Go, you can view a nicely formatted doc/install.html by running godoc --http=:6060 and then visiting http://localhost:6060/doc/install.html. Unless otherwise noted, the Go source files are distributed under the BSD-style license found in the LICENSE file. -- Binary Distribution Notes If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this README). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path. For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile: export GOROOT=$HOME/go export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin See doc/install.html for more details.
