This is an example of using a channel to produce data for consumers. In this example, the producer Runtime instance will send the time in seconds in which the consumers shall sleep.
<?php
use parallel\{Runtime, Channel};
main($argv);
function main(array $argv)
{
if (count($argv) !== 3) {
echo "Type: hello-parallel.php <number-of-tasks> <maximum-time-of-sleep (in seconds)>" . PHP_EOL;
echo "Example: hello-parallel.php 5 3" . PHP_EOL;
die;
} else {
$numberOfTasks = intval($argv[1]);
$maximumTimeOfSleep = intval($argv[2]);
$t1 = microtime(true);
parallelize($numberOfTasks, $maximumTimeOfSleep);
$endTime = microtime(true) - $t1;
echo PHP_EOL."Finished $numberOfTasks task(s) in {$endTime}s".PHP_EOL;
}
}
function parallelize(int $numberOfTasks, int $maximumTimeOfSleep)
{
$channel = new Channel();
$taskIds = array_map(function () use ($maximumTimeOfSleep) {
return $id = uniqid("task::");
}, range(0, $numberOfTasks - 1));
$timesToSleep = array_map(function () use ($maximumTimeOfSleep) {
return rand(1, $maximumTimeOfSleep);
}, $taskIds);
$producer = new Runtime();
$producerFuture = $producer->run(function (Channel $channel, array $timesToSleep) {
foreach ($timesToSleep as $timeToSleep) {
$channel->send($timeToSleep);
}
}, [$channel, $timesToSleep]);
$consumerFutures = array_map(function (string $id) use ($channel) {
$runtime = new Runtime();
return $runtime->run(function (string $id, Channel $channel) {
$timeToSleep = $channel->recv();
echo "Hello from $id. I will sleep for $timeToSleep second(s).".PHP_EOL;
sleep($timeToSleep);
echo "$id slept for $timeToSleep second(s).".PHP_EOL;
return $timeToSleep;
}, [$id, $channel]);
}, $taskIds);
wait($consumerFutures);
wait([$producerFuture]);
}
function wait(array $futures)
{
return array_map(function ($future) {
return $future->value();
}, $futures);
}
The parallel\Channel class
(0.9.0)
Unbuffered Channels
An unbuffered channel will block on calls to parallel\Channel::send() until there is a receiver, and block on calls to parallel\Channel::recv() until there is a sender. This means an unbuffered channel is not only a way to share data among tasks but also a simple method of synchronization.
An unbuffered channel is the fastest way to share data among tasks, requiring the least copying.
Buffered Channels
A buffered channel will not block on calls to parallel\Channel::send() until capacity is reached, calls to parallel\Channel::recv() will block until there is data in the buffer.
Closures over Channels
A powerful feature of parallel channels is that they allow the exchange of closures between tasks (and runtimes).
When a closure is sent over a channel the closure is buffered, it doesn't change the buffering of the channel transmitting the closure, but it does effect the static scope inside the closure: The same closure sent to different runtimes, or the same runtime, will not share their static scope.
This means that whenever a closure is executed that was transmitted by a channel, static state will be as it was when the closure was buffered.
Anonymous Channels
The anonymous channel constructor allows the programmer to avoid assigning names to every channel: parallel will generate a unique name for anonymous channels.

an example used unbuffered channel.
<?php
use parallel\{Channel,Runtime};
$sum=function(array $a, Channel $ch) {
$sum=0;
foreach ($a as $v) {
$sum+=$v;
}
$ch->send($sum);
};
try {
$a=[7, 2, 8, 1, 4, 0, 9, 10];
//unbuffered channel
$runtime=new Runtime;
$ch2=new Channel;
$runtime->run($sum, [array_slice($a, 0, $num), $ch2]);
$runtime->run($sum, [array_slice($a, $num), $ch2]);
//receive from channel
$x=$ch2->recv();
$y=$ch2->recv();
$ch2->close();
echo "\nch2:", $x, "\t", $y, "\t", $x + $y, "\n";
} catch(Error $err) {
echo "\nError:", $err->getMessage();
} catch(Exception $e) {
echo "\nException:", $e->getMessage();
}
//output
//ch2:18 23 41

<?php
// the very weird way to calculate factorial ^_^
