Node.js Multithreading: A Beginner's Guide to Worker Threads

Updated on March 13, 2024

Node.js is not traditionally favored for CPU-heavy operations due to its architecture, which is optimized for I/O-bound activities—a staple for the majority of web servers.

This efficiency in managing I/O operations, however, translates to less optimal performance for tasks requiring extensive CPU usage, presenting a classic example of a software trade-off.

Despite this, Node.js has evolved to accommodate CPU-intensive tasks better than in its early days. Today, it's now possible to execute such tasks on Node.js with a level of performance that might be deemed acceptable for certain applications.

In this article, we'll delve into the following topics:

  • Understanding what CPU-bound tasks entail,
  • Why Node.js struggles with CPU-intensive operations,
  • Enhance Node.js' capability to execute CPU-bound tasks efficiently through worker threads.

Let's dive in!

Prerequisites

To follow along effectively with this guide, ensure that your computer has a minimum of two CPUs. It's also important to have a recent version of Node.js version installed on your computer, preferably the latest LTS.

To check how many CPUs your system has, run the command below:

 
nproc
Output
2

Note that sections focusing on optimizing CPU-intensive operations through a worker pool will achieve the best results on systems equipped with four or more CPUs.

Setting up the demo project

To demonstrate the concepts that will be introduced in this article, I've prepared a simple Express app featuring a single non-blocking endpoint, which you'll further develop in the upcoming sections by integrating CPU-bound tasks and later offloading them to worker threads.

Start by cloning the project repository with the following command:

 
git clone https://github.com/betterstack-community/worker-threads-demo.git

After cloning, move into the project directory:

 
cd worker-threads-demo

Next, install the necessary dependencies, which includes Express for the web server, nodemon to automatically restart the server on file changes, and autocannon for running basic load tests on the server:

 
npm install

The index.js file in the repository sets up a simple Express server as shown below:

index.js
import express from 'express';

const app = express();
const PORT = process.env.PORT || 3000;

app.get('/non-blocking', (req, res) => {
  res.send('This is a non-blocking endpoint');
});

app.listen(PORT, () => {
  console.log(`Server running on port ${PORT}`);
});

This code snippet establishes an Express server with a single endpoint that outputs a specific message when accessed.

To run the development server, execute:

 
npm start
Output
> worker-threads-demo@1.0.0 start
> nodemon index.js

[nodemon] 3.1.0
[nodemon] to restart at any time, enter `rs`
[nodemon] watching path(s): *.*
[nodemon] watching extensions: js,mjs,cjs,json
[nodemon] starting `node index.js`
Server running on port 3000

In a separate terminal window, test the endpoint using:

 
curl http://localhost:3000/non-blocking

You should see the following response from the server:

Output
This is a non-blocking endpoint

Starting and testing the server

You can terminate the server at any time by pressing CTRL+C in your terminal window.

You are now all set up to explore worker threads, but before diving in, let's explore the distinction between between I/O and CPU-bound tasks in a Node.js context next.

Understanding I/O-bound and CPU-bound tasks in Node.js

In computer programming, tasks are broadly categorized into two: I/O-bound and CPU-bound.

I/O-bound tasks are those where the execution speed primarily hinges on the I/O subsystem. This includes operations like reading from and writing to disks, network communications, and database interactions.

The critical factor in these tasks is not the speed at which the program can process data, but how swiftly it can perform input or output operations with other systems or devices.

Common examples of I/O-bound activities include database queries, file transfers over a network, and disk I/O operations. The primary delay in these tasks comes from the time required to complete the external operations, not from the processing capabilities of the CPU.

Node.js handles I/O-bound tasks efficiently through asynchronous operations, utilizing the capabilities of the underlying operating system. For instance, the fs.readFile() method, which reads data from a file, demonstrates this approach:

 
const fs = require("node:fs");
fs.readFile("/file.txt", (err, data) => {
  if (err) throw err;
});

In this scenario, Node.js delegates the file reading task to the operating system and registers the callback function in the event queue. As this process unfolds asynchronously, the rest of the program continues to execute uninterrupted.

Once the operation is completed, the operating system relays the data back to Node.js, which then executes the registered callback function argument to readFile(), passing along the received data.

This mechanism ensures that I/O-bound tasks do not obstruct the main execution thread, thus classifying them as non-blocking operations.

On the other hand, CPU-bound tasks are those that are limited by the speed of the CPU. This includes operations such as complex calculations, data analysis, cryptography, image or video encoding, machine learning model training, and more.

In these scenarios, the main limitation of each task is the processing power of the CPU, as they require significant compute resources to execute the series of instructions.

A basic example of a CPU-bound task could be a loop executing a large number of iterations:

 
let iterationCount = 0;
for (let i = 0; i < 300000; i++) {
  iterationCount++;
}

CPU-bound rely heavily on Node.js's single JavaScript execution thread. Even attempting to encapsulate these tasks within a promise doesn't alleviate this inherent characteristic, as their execution monopolizes the main thread.

As a result, when such a task is in progress, it commandeers the thread, and puts the entire application on hold, making it unable to process further instructions or handle any requests. These tasks are thus recognized as blocking.

Now that you understand the distinction between I/O and CPU-bound tasks, let's proceed to the next section where you'll create and test a CPU-bound task to demonstrate its impact on Node.js performance.

Creating and testing a CPU-bound task

To demonstrate the impact of CPU-intensive operations on the performance and responsiveness of a Node.js application, you will modify the demo project by adding a route that computes the Fibonacci sequence through a recursive algorithm.

This is a sequence of numbers beginning with 0 and 1 where each subsequent number is the sum of the two preceding ones. The first 10 numbers in the sequence are 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, and 34, and it continues indefinitely.

For this exploration, you'll implement a function which takes an integer and returns the nth Fibonacci number using a recursive algorithm chosen for its simplicity and the computing load it places on the CPU.

To begin, open the index.js file and add the highlighted code below:

index.js
import express from 'express';

const app = express();
const PORT = process.env.PORT || 3000;

function fibonacci(n) {
if (n <= 1) return n;
return fibonacci(n - 1) + fibonacci(n - 2);
}
app.get('/fibonacci/:n', (req, res) => {
const n = parseInt(req.params.n);
if (isNaN(n) || n < 0) {
res.status(400).json({ error: 'Invalid input' });
return;
}
const result = fibonacci(n);
res.json({ fibonacci: result });
});
app.get('/non-blocking', (req, res) => { res.send('This is a non-blocking endpoint'); }); app.listen(PORT, () => { console.log(`Server running on port ${PORT}`); });

The fibonacci() function above calculates the nth term of the Fibonacci sequence, returning n directly for values less than or equal to 1, or calculating the sum of the two preceding numbers for larger n.

While more efficient algorithms exist, this version effectively demonstrates the impact of CPU-intensive tasks on Node.js' event loop.

Once you've saved the file, ensure the server is still running, then return to terminal and execute the command below to find the 35th Fibonacci sequence and how long it takes to compute the result:

 
time curl http://localhost:3000/fibonacci/35

On my machine, the computation took about 83 milliseconds to complete:

Output
{"fibonacci":9227465}
real    0m0.083s
user    0m0.001s
sys     0m0.003s

It's also useful to set a baseline for how many requests can be processed by the /fibonacci handler by running a load test as follows:

 
npx autocannon --renderStatusCodes http://localhost:3000/fibonacci/35
Output
Running 10s test @ http://localhost:3000/fibonacci/35
10 connections

84 requests in 10.03s, 18.9 kB read

Here, the server was able to successfully process 74 requests for the 35th Fibonacci number in 10 seconds.

Before rounding off this section, run a load test on the /non-blocking endpoint as follows:

 
npx autocannon --renderStatusCodes http://localhost:3000/non-blocking

On my test machine, the server processed around 81,000 requests in 11 seconds, averaging about 7,300 requests per second, indicating good performance for non-blocking operations:

Do keep these numbers in mind as we'll refer back to them in subsequent sections of this tutorial.

Understanding the impact of CPU-bound tasks on Node.js performance

To illustrate the effect of CPU-bound tasks on the server's performance, initiate a request to compute a high-order Fibonacci number, such as the 100th term, with:

 
curl http://localhost:3000/fibonacci/100

This request will take a ridiculously long time to complete due to the inefficient recursive algorithm in use. More importantly, it will completely block the event loop, leading to a total loss of functionality.

While the computation is ongoing, repeat the load test to the /non-blocking endpoint in a new terminal. You'll notice a dramatic performance drop, with the server unable to handle additional requests during the Fibonacci computation:

 
npx autocannon --renderStatusCodes http://localhost:3000/non-blocking

20 requests in 10.03s, 0 B read
10 errors (10 timeouts)

This exemplifies how a single CPU-intensive task can monopolize Node.js's thread, blocking the event loop and preventing the server from processing other tasks.

We've gone from processing ~7.3k requests per second to 0 requests due to the event loop being blocked.

This is why it is often said that Node.js isn't a great choice for CPU-bound tasks. However, there are solutions to mitigate this problem, and this is what we'll explore in the next section.

You can halt the request to compute the 100th Fibonacci number with Ctrl+C before proceeding.

A brief overview of Node.js workers

Node.js provides a Worker class, introduced in version 10.5.0, that enables the creation of separate JavaScript execution contexts. Each worker operates on its own V8 engine and event loop, potentially running tasks in parallel on different CPU cores.

Unlike traditional thread models, Node.js worker threads communicate via message passing rather than shared memory, avoiding common concurrency pitfalls like deadlocks and race conditions. This design emphasizes thread safety and the independent execution of tasks.

To instantiate a worker thread, you can utilize the Worker constructor from the worker_threads module:

 
import { Worker } from 'node:worker_threads';

const worker = new Worker('/path/to/worker-script.js');

The constructor takes the path to a script file that the worker will execute, allowing CPU-heavy tasks to be offloaded from the main thread. This ensures the main event loop remains unblocked, maintaining server performance.

For instance, computing the nth Fibonacci number can be delegated to a worker thread, with the result relayed back to the main thread. This keeps the event loop free to handle other tasks, improving overall application responsiveness.

In the next section, you will employ worker threads to address the previously observed performance challenges caused by CPU-intensive operations in Node.js.

Executing CPU-bound tasks in a worker thread

To avoid blocking the event loop with the Fibonacci sequence computation, you can offload the task to a separate thread using Node.js worker threads. This method allows the server to keep processing other requests seamlessly, even during lengthy computations.

Start by moving the fibonacci() function from your index.js file to a newly created workers.js file in the root directory of your project:

worker.js
function fibonacci(n) {
  if (n <= 1) return n;
  return fibonacci(n - 1) + fibonacci(n - 2);
}

Afterward, incorporate the following code to calculate the requested Fibonacci number and relay the outcome to the parent thread:

worker.js
import { parentPort, workerData } from 'worker_threads';
function fibonacci(n) { if (n <= 1) return n; return fibonacci(n - 1) + fibonacci(n - 2); }
const result = fibonacci(workerData);
parentPort.postMessage(result);

In the worker.js file, the first line imports two variables from the worker_threads module:

  • parentPort represents a communication channel with the main/parent thread, allowing the worker thread to send messages back to the parent thread.
  • workerData is the data passed to the worker thread during its initialization in the parent thread. In this case, it will be the Fibonacci number to be computed.

Next, adjust your index.js file to spawn a new worker thread for each Fibonacci request:

index.js
import express from 'express';
import { Worker } from 'node:worker_threads';
. . .
app.get('/fibonacci/:n', (req, res) => {
const n = parseInt(req.params.n);
if (isNaN(n) || n < 0) {
res.status(400).json({ error: "Invalid input" });
return;
}
const worker = new Worker('./worker.js', { workerData: n });
worker.on('message', (result) => {
res.json({ fibonacci: result });
});
worker.on('error', (error) => {
console.error('Worker error:', error);
res.status(500).json({ error: 'Internal server error' });
});
});

Each time a request is made to the /fibonacci route, a new worker thread is created and the number received is made accessible through the workerData variable. Two callbacks are subsequently registered on the worker: one to process messages (computation results), and the other to handle errors.

With this setup in place, the Fibonacci computation is handled in a separate thread and the result is only then received and forwarded to the client through the registered callback function.

You can observe this by repeating the calculation for the 35th Fibonacci number using the command below:

 
time curl http://localhost:3000/fibonacci/35

The following output will be observed:

Output
{"fibonacci":9227465}
real    0m0.123s
user    0m0.001s
sys     0m0.003s

Notice that it actually takes longer to compute the result compared to our earlier run (123ms vs 83ms). This is due to the overhead of creating a worker thread since a separate instance of the V8 engine needs to be spawned and before the program can be executed.

However, when you repeat the load test to the /fibonacci route, you should observer a higher throughput rate:

 
npx autocannon --renderStatusCodes http://localhost:3000/fibonacci/35

The server is now able to handle 442 requests in 10 seconds compared to just 74 in the previous run:

└──────┴───────┘

Req/Bytes counts sampled once per second.
# of samples: 10

452 requests in 10.02s, 113 kB read

This is because, when you create a worker thread in Node.js, the operating system's scheduler determines how and where threads are executed, including the assignment of threads to different CPU cores.

Modern operating systems with multi-core processors usually distribute these threads across multiple cores to run in parallel which leads to more efficient CPU utilization and better performance.

Note that the actual execution of threads on different cores depends on several factors, including the operating system's scheduling policies, the number of available cores, and the current load on each core.

The worker_threads module only provides the framework for parallel execution, but the underlying system architecture and OS scheduler is what determines how worker threads are allocated to CPU cores.

Another significant gain of offloading each Fibonacci computation to a worker thread is that it prevents the event loop from being blocked so that the main thread can continue to process other requests simultaneously.

Let's demonstrate this by repeating the earlier scenario where the 100th Fibonacci number was being calculated:

 
curl http://localhost:3000/fibonacci/100

While the command is running, run a load test to the /non-blocking endpoint once again:

 
npx autocannon --renderStatusCodes http://localhost:3000/non-blocking
Output

81k requests in 11.02s, 20.9 MB read

Since the main thread is no longer blocked by the Fibonacci computation, the server is able to continue processing other requests leading to a marked improvement in performance. On my test machine, I observed roughly the same level of performance as the baseline, but you may see slightly lower or higher values.

In the next section, we will discuss using a worker thread pool to improve the efficiency of deploying worker threads for CPU-intensive tasks.

Exploring the worker pool pattern

As previously noted, initiating a new worker thread creates a separate instance of the V8 JavaScript engine along with associated resources. Consequently, excessive use of worker threads can lead to significant resource consumption on your system, potentially negating the benefits of utilizing worker threads altogether.

For CPU-bound tasks, having more worker threads than available CPUs can lead to context switching overhead, reducing efficiency. When threads compete for CPU time, the operating system must switch between them, which can lead to increased CPU usage and reduced performance for computationally intensive tasks.

The optimal number of threads for maximizing performance is often related to the number of available CPUs, although the best ratio can vary based on the workload.

A good rule of thumb is to spawn a maximum of one less than available CPUs. So if your machine has 8 cores, the maximum number of workers that should be spawned is 7.

To avoid the overhead of creating and destroying worker threads per request, the worker pool pattern allows you to define a reusable pool of workers to execute tasks. Incoming tasks are put in a queue and subsequently executed by an available worker.

This way, the overhead of continuously creating new workers for each request is avoided and the maximum number of available workers is always capped at the number of available CPUs minus one to prevent context switching inefficiencies.

While you can create and manage a worker pool on your own, we recommend using a battle-tested library to save time and abstract away the complexities of manual pool management. A few options in this space include workerpool, piscina, and poolifier.

In the following section, I'll demonstrate how to utilize the workerpool library to efficiently manage a pool of workers for processing Fibonacci calculation requests.

Optimizing CPU-bound tasks with a worker pool

Begin by installing the workerpool package with:

 
npm install workerpool

Once installed, modify your index.js file as follows:

index.js
import express from 'express';
import workerpool from 'workerpool';
import { dirname } from 'path';
import { fileURLToPath } from 'url';
const __dirname = dirname(fileURLToPath(import.meta.url));
const app = express(); const PORT = process.env.PORT || 3000;
// Create a worker pool
const pool = workerpool.pool(__dirname + '/worker.js');
app.get('/fibonacci/:n', async (req, res) => { const n = parseInt(req.params.n); if (isNaN(n) || n < 0) { res.status(400).json({ error: 'Invalid input' }); return; }
try {
const result = await pool.exec('fibonacci', [n]);
res.json({ fibonacci: result });
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
res.status(500).json({ error: 'Internal server error' });
}
}); . . .

This code snippet initializes a worker pool using the workerpool.pool() method, pointing to your worker script. The worker pool automatically adjusts the number of workers, defaulting to the available CPU cores minus one.

In the handler for the /fibonacci route, the worker pool executes the fibonacci function and returns a promise that resolves to the result of the computation. This promise-based API allows you to use async..await syntax coupled with a try/catch block for result and error handling.

Now, adjust your worker.js file to enable the worker function:

worker.js
import workerpool from 'workerpool';

function fibonacci(n) {
  if (n <= 1) return n;
  return fibonacci(n - 1) + fibonacci(n - 2);
}

workerpool.worker({
  fibonacci,
});

Here, the fibonacci() function is made accessible to the main thread, allowing it to be invoked with pool.exec('fibonacci', [n]).

Let's see if these changes improve the performance of the Fibonacci computation by repeating the request to compute the 35th Fibonacci number:

 
time curl http://localhost:3000/fibonacci/35
Output
{"fibonacci":9227465}
real    0m0.079s
user    0m0.001s
sys     0m0.002s

By transitioning to a worker pool managed at the application's start, rather than spawning workers per request, we eliminate the overhead associated with worker creation.

Consequently, the Fibonacci calculation for the 35th number completes in 79ms, closely matching the initial 83ms baseline, demonstrating minimal overhead from utilizing a worker pool.

Performing a load test now should also reveal a boost in handling capacity:

 
npx autocannon --renderStatusCodes http://localhost:3000/fibonacci/35

This yields a modest improvement to 500 successful requests in 10 seconds compared to 442 from the previous run:

Output

510 requests in 10.02s, 128 kB read

For an even greater improvement in processing CPU-bound tasks, consider upgrading the hardware to a system with additional CPU cores. In this particular scenario though, adopting a more efficient algorithm like Matrix exponentiation or Fast doubling would be more effective.

Final thoughts

Worker threads have advanced Node.js's ability to handle CPU-demanding tasks, marking a significant improvement for the platform. Despite this progress, Node.js remains best suited for handling I/O-driven operations rather than intensive computational tasks.

This isn't a shortfall but rather a reflection of its original design intent. While managing CPU-heavy tasks isn't its strong suit, Node.js still offers mechanisms, such as worker threads, to tackle these challenges to a reasonable extent.

It's now up to you to decide if this approach to CPU-intensive operations suffices for your project's needs or if exploring technologies tailored for such tasks might yield better results.

Thanks for reading and happy coding!
