This document compares traditional fork-join parallelism approaches in C using Cilk and OpenMP to goroutines in Go. It ported the Barcelona OpenMP Tasks Suite (BOTS) to Go to evaluate performance and scalability. Several task pool variations were tested in Go. Microbenchmarks on simple tasks showed good speedup with Go approaching C implementations. BOTS nqueens and sparselu benchmarks also demonstrated good speedup in Go. Recursion caused dependencies that limited parallelism. Memory usage was lower in Go for most tests. Questions about possible heap corruption in Go 1.4 were raised.
