| thread | goroutine |
|---|---|
| OS threads are managed by kernal and has hardware dependencies. | goroutines are managed by go runtime and has no hardware dependencies. |
| OS threads generally have fixed stack size of 1-2MB | goroutines typically have 8KB (2KB since Go 1.4) of stack size in newer versions of go |
| Stack size is determined during compile time and can not grow | Stack size of go is managed in run-time and can grow up to 1GB which is possible by allocating and freeing heap storage |
| There is no easy communication medium between threads. There is huge latency between inter-thread communication. | goroutine use channels to communicate with other goroutines with low latency (read more). |
| Threads have identity. There is TID which identifies each thread in a process. | goroutine do not have any identity. go implemented this because go does not have TLS([Thread Local Storage](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/win |
