Faster Go maps with Swiss Tables
Nice to knowecosystem
- What changed
- Go 1.24 introduces a new map implementation that improves performance.
- Production impact
- The source does not say.
- Try it
- Benchmark a map in Go 1.24 versus an older version.
- Source
- go.dev/blog/swisstable
Understand it, then run it
Run it now
// This program demonstrates the new Swiss Table map implementation in Go 1.24.
// It creates a map, inserts many entries, and measures lookup speed.
// The code runs unchanged in Go 1.27.1, which already includes the Swiss Tables.
package main
import (
"fmt"
"math/rand"
"time"
)
func main() {
const n = 1_000_000
m := make(map[int]int, n)
// Fill the map with random keys.
start := time.Now()
for i := 0; i < n; i++ {
m[rand.Int()] = i
}
fmt.Printf("Insertion time: %v\n", time.Since(start))
// Look up all keys to exercise the new map internals.
start = time.Now()
sum := 0
for k := range m {
sum += m[k]
}
fmt.Printf("Lookup time: %v, sum: %d\n", time.Since(start), sum)
}
What it printed when we ran it on Go 1.27.1
Insertion time: 191.088174ms Lookup time: 23.684702ms, sum: 499999500000
Run sends this program (for Solidity, the contract and its tests) to our own sandbox, where it is compiled and run once, with no network, and what it printed or the test report comes back here. Nothing is kept. Runs are counted per visitor for the day so everyone gets a turn; the details are on the legal page.
