Submitted by IncludeHelp, on October 19, 2021

In the Go programming language – to find the number of CPU cores, we use the NumCPU() function of the "runtime" package.

The NumCPU() function returns the number of logical CPUs usable by the current process.

Syntax:

func NumCPU() int

Program:

// Go language program to find the
// number of CPU Cores

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"runtime"
)

// Main function
func main() {

	// Get number of processors
	// using the NumCPU() function
	fmt.Println("The number of CPU Cores:", runtime.NumCPU())
}

Output:

The number of CPU Cores: 8
