8. I/O bound vs CPU bound
9. Decoupling I/O and Computation
10. Async and non-blocking I/O
11. Why non-blocking I/O matters Multiple cores and fast CPU vs slow Network I/O
12. Linux I/O multiplexing, non-blocking • select() monitors the sockets’ status flag and return the status of all sockets, manually iterate through all the fds (C10K problem) • poll() similar to select() but allocate an array of pollfd, can handle more than 1024 sockets •epoll() monitors sockets’ status and trigger related events, and only return triggered events array.
13. Reactor pattern
14. PHP ?
15. The problems to solve for PHP • High concurrency,large numberof connections • Long-liveconnections,real-timeservices • Long-liveconnectionsto DB, Cache, RPC etc • Supportmoreprotocols • Server programming,not just scripts • Milliseconds scheduler • Async tasks of consuming3rd party services • Manage and reuse the statusin memory • Performance
17. 1.Receive the request 2.Load and compile PHP files and codes 3.Initialize the context objects and variables 4.Execute the functions 5.Send the response 6.Recycle the resources The life cycle of HTTP request in PHP-FPM

19. PHP Swoole https://www.swoole.co.uk/ https://github.com/swoole/swoole-src @php_swoole Coroutine-based concurrency library for PHP
20. Get started git clone git@github.com:doubaokun/phplondon201906.git docker build -f Dockerfile -t swoole-phplondon . docker run --rm -p 9501:9501 -v $(pwd):/app -w /app \ swoole-phplondon server.php

31. Problem with CPU heavy business logics
32. Preemptive scheduling
33. PHP Swoole Server
34. HTTP server with PHP Swoole
36. HTTP server structure
37. Preemptive scheduling in PHP Swoole Server
38. Scheduling thread ZendVM:EG(vm_interrupt)= 1 Zend_interrupt_function Yield current coroutineif it runs longer than 5ms How preemptive scheduling works
39. Preemptive scheduling in PHP Swoole Server
40. HTTP server structure single process
41. Preemptive scheduling in PHP Swoole Server time curl -I http://127.0.0.1:9501/\?p\=1 (CPU heavy logics) time curl -I http://127.0.0.1:9501/\?p\=0 (light weight logics) docker run --rm -p 9501:9501 -v $(pwd):/app -w /app \ swoole-phplondon server_preemptive.php time curl -I http://127.0.0.1:9501/\?p\=1 & sleep 1 && \ time curl -I http://127.0.0.1:9501/\?p\=0 & wait
