Pool wyrihaximus/react-child-process-messenger processes

Installation

To install via Composer, use the command below, it will automatically detect the latest version and bind it with ~.

composer require wyrihaximus/react-child-process-pool

Pools

• Dummy - Meant for testing, doesn't do anything but complies to it's contract
• Fixed - Spawns a given fixed amount of workers
• Flexible - Spawns workers as a needed basis, given a minimum and maximum it will spawn within those values

Usage

This package pools wyrihaximus/react-child-process-messenger, for basic messaging please see that package for details how to use it.

Creating a pool

This package ships with a set factories, which create different pools. (All the options in the following examples are the default options.)

Dummy

Creates a Dummy pool:

$loop = EventLoopFactory::create();

Dummy::createFromClass(ReturnChild::class, $loop)->then(function (PoolInterface $pool) {
  // Now you have a Dummy pool, which does absolutely nothing
});

Fixed

Creates a Fixed pool:

$loop = EventLoopFactory::create();
$options = [
    Options::SIZE => 5,
];
Fixed::createFromClass(ReturnChild::class, $loop, $options)->then(function (PoolInterface $pool) {
    // You now have a pull with 5 always running child processes 
});

Flexible

Creates a Flexible pool:

$loop = EventLoopFactory::create();
$options = [
    Options::MIN_SIZE => 0,
    Options::MAX_SIZE => 5,
    Options::TTL      => 0,
];
Flexible::createFromClass(ReturnChild::class, $loop, $options)->then(function (PoolInterface $pool) {
    // You now have a pool that spawns no child processes on start.
    // But when you call rpc a new child process will be started for 
    // as long as the pool has work in the queue. With a maximum of five.
});

CpuCoreCountFixed

Creates a Fixed pool with size set to the number of CPU cores:

$loop = EventLoopFactory::create();

CpuCoreCountFlexible::createFromClass(ReturnChild::class, $loop)->then(function (PoolInterface $pool) {
    // You now have a Fixed pool with a child process assigned to each CPU core.
});

CpuCoreCountFlexible

The following example will creates a flexible pool with max size set to the number of CPU cores. Where the create method requires you to give it a React\ChildProcess\Process. The createFromClass lets you pass a classname of a class implementing WyriHaximus\React\ChildProcess\Messenger\ChildInterface that will be used as the worker in the client. Take a look at WyriHaximus\React\ChildProcess\Messenger\ReturnChild to see how that works.

$loop = EventLoopFactory::create();

CpuCoreCountFlexible::createFromClass(ReturnChild::class, $loop)->then(function (PoolInterface $pool) {
    // You now have a Fixed pool with a child process assigned to each CPU core,
    // which, just like the Flexible pool, will only run when there is something
    // in the queue.
});
