AI-generatedStop-the-world latency during Garbage Collection in G-M-P scheduler
The Go runtime employs a G-M-P model to manage concurrency, where the scheduler distributes goroutines (G) across logical processors (P) and OS threads (M). During Garbage Collection (GC), the runtime must initiate a stop-the-world (STW) phase to ensure memory consistency across all active threads. In environments with a high number of OS threads (M) created
