// Simulate tasks that take 1 second
async function task(s: Semaphore) {
await new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(() => resolve(null), 1000));
s.release();
}
// Concurrency = 10
const s = new Semaphore(10);
const tasks = new Array<Promise<void>>();
// For total 40 tasks
for (let i = 0; i < 40; i++) {
await s.acquire();
tasks.push(task(s));
}
await Promise.all(tasks); // The total cost time is about 4 seconds
