worker_threads 工作线程

源代码: lib/worker_threads.js

node:worker_threads 模块允许使用并行执行 JavaScript 的线程。 要访问它：

const worker = require('node:worker_threads');

工作线程对于执行 CPU 密集型的 JavaScript 操作很有用。 它们对 I/O 密集型的工作帮助不大。 Node.js 内置的异步 I/O 操作比工作线程更高效。

与 child_process 或 cluster 不同，worker_threads 可以共享内存。 它们通过传输 ArrayBuffer 实例或共享 SharedArrayBuffer 实例来实现。

const {
  Worker, isMainThread, parentPort, workerData
} = require('node:worker_threads');

if (isMainThread) {
  module.exports = function parseJSAsync(script) {
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
      const worker = new Worker(__filename, {
        workerData: script
      });
      worker.on('message', resolve);
      worker.on('error', reject);
      worker.on('exit', (code) => {
        if (code !== 0)
          reject(new Error(`Worker stopped with exit code ${code}`));
      });
    });
  };
} else {
  const { parse } = require('some-js-parsing-library');
  const script = workerData;
  parentPort.postMessage(parse(script));
}

上面的示例为每个 parseJSAsync() 调用衍生工作线程。 在实践中，为这些类型的任务使用工作线程池。 否则，创建工作线程的开销可能会超过其收益。

当实现工作线程池时，使用 AsyncResource API 通知诊断工具（例如提供异步的堆栈跟踪）有关任务与其结果之间的相关性。 有关示例实现，请参阅 async_hooks 文档中的“将 AsyncResource 用于 Worker 线程池”

默认情况下，工作线程继承非进程特定的选项。 参考 Worker 构造函数选项 了解如何自定义工作线程选项，特别是 argv 和 execArgv 选项。

Source Code: lib/worker_threads.js

The node:worker_threads module enables the use of threads that execute JavaScript in parallel. To access it:

const worker = require('node:worker_threads');

Workers (threads) are useful for performing CPU-intensive JavaScript operations. They do not help much with I/O-intensive work. The Node.js built-in asynchronous I/O operations are more efficient than Workers can be.

Unlike child_process or cluster, worker_threads can share memory. They do so by transferring ArrayBuffer instances or sharing SharedArrayBuffer instances.

const {
  Worker, isMainThread, parentPort, workerData
} = require('node:worker_threads');

if (isMainThread) {
  module.exports = function parseJSAsync(script) {
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
      const worker = new Worker(__filename, {
        workerData: script
      });
      worker.on('message', resolve);
      worker.on('error', reject);
      worker.on('exit', (code) => {
        if (code !== 0)
          reject(new Error(`Worker stopped with exit code ${code}`));
      });
    });
  };
} else {
  const { parse } = require('some-js-parsing-library');
  const script = workerData;
  parentPort.postMessage(parse(script));
}

The above example spawns a Worker thread for each parseJSAsync() call. In practice, use a pool of Workers for these kinds of tasks. Otherwise, the overhead of creating Workers would likely exceed their benefit.

When implementing a worker pool, use the AsyncResource API to inform diagnostic tools (e.g. to provide asynchronous stack traces) about the correlation between tasks and their outcomes. See "Using AsyncResource for a Worker thread pool" in the async_hooks documentation for an example implementation.

Worker threads inherit non-process-specific options by default. Refer to Worker constructor options to know how to customize worker thread options, specifically argv and execArgv options.
