1 BILLION row challenge in Go - 2.5 Seconds!

In this video we look at how we can aggregate 1 billion rows of weather station data in as little time as possible. We start with a naive approach and optimize to go from 1m30 seconds to 2.5 seconds. Using the power of memory mapped files, a custom hash map implementation, and multiple Goroutines.

You already know!

Thanks for sharing.

[@duanebester]

You bet

Nice video. However, you are calculating the average while you are meant to keep track of the mean of all the values. That means having an array in the struct to keep track of all the values seen. Subscribed!

[@duanebester]

I think “mean” in this case is the arithmetic mean, which is the same as the average; summing the numbers in the set and dividing by total count (per station). My output matches the baseline output so I feel pretty confident in the implementation

Great content, but the autopilot is taking the fun out of it

[@duanebester]

Great point. Will disable going forward!

It takes me 1 minute just to cat the file to /dev/null

[@duanebester]

Yep the aggregation calculations are what increases the time drastically
