The parallel\Future class

(0.8.0)

Futures

A Future represents the return value or uncaught exception from a task, and exposes an API for cancellation.

Ejemplo #1 Example showing Future as return value

<?php
$runtime
= new \parallel\Runtime;
$future = $runtime->run(function(){
return
"World";
});
printf("Hello %s\n", $future->value());
?>

El resultado del ejemplo sería algo similar a:

Hello World

The behaviour of a future also allows it to be used as a simple synchronization point even where the task does not return a value explicitly.

Ejemplo #2 Example showing Future as synchronization point

<?php
$runtime
= new \parallel\Runtime;
$future = $runtime->run(function(){
echo
"in child ";
for (
$i = 0; $i < 500; $i++) {
if (
$i % 10 == 0) {
echo
".";
}
}
echo
" leaving child";
});

$future->value();
echo
"\nparent continues\n";
?>

El resultado del ejemplo sería algo similar a:

in child .................................................. leaving child
parent continues

<?php/** * Sample parallel Runtime/Future processing * using a generator to produce the list of items to process *  * Items to process in parallel come from a generator * It could be anything : e.g fetch a mysql array, a DirectoryIterator... * Thus the number of items to process in parallel is NOT known in advance *  * This algorithm attributes items to each parallel thread dynamically * As soon as a thread has finished working * It is assigned a new item to process * until all items are processed (generator closes) *  * In this example we process 50 items in 5 parallel threads * It produces output in this form (output changes at each run) : *  * ThreadId: 1 => Item: 1 (Start) * ThreadId: 2 => Item: 2 (Start) * ThreadId: 3 => Item: 3 (Start) * ThreadId: 4 => Item: 4 (Start) * ThreadId: 5 => Item: 5 (Start) * ThreadId: 5 => Item: 5 Sleep: 3s (End) * ThreadId: 5 => Item: 6 (Start) * ThreadId: 3 => Item: 3 Sleep: 4s (End) * ThreadId: 3 => Item: 7 (Start) * ThreadId: 2 => Item: 2 Sleep: 6s (End) * ThreadId: 2 => Item: 8 (Start) * ... * ThreadId: 4 => Item: 44 Sleep: 6s (End) * ThreadId: 4 => Item: 49 (Start) * ThreadId: 3 => Item: 46 Sleep: 5s (End) * ThreadId: 3 => Item: 50 (Start) * ThreadId: 2 => Item: 43 Sleep: 9s (End) * Destroy ThreadId: 2 * ThreadId: 1 => Item: 47 Sleep: 5s (End) * Destroy ThreadId: 1 * ThreadId: 4 => Item: 49 Sleep: 7s (End) * Destroy ThreadId: 4 * ThreadId: 5 => Item: 48 Sleep: 10s (End) * Destroy ThreadId: 5 * ThreadId: 3 => Item: 50 Sleep: 10s (End) * Destroy ThreadId: 3 */// Generate list of items to process with a generatorfunction generator(int $item_count) {    echo "Item count: $item_count\n";    for ($i=1; $i <= $item_count; $i++) {        yield $i;    }}function testConcurrency(int $concurrency, int $max_item_count) {    // Set item_count to a random number so that each run is different    $item_count= rand(1, $max_item_count);    // Create generator    $generator = generator($item_count);    // Function executing in each thread.
