PHP CPU Core Count Detection
============================

[](#php-cpu-core-count-detection)

This PHP script detects the number of CPU cores available on a Linux server. It can be helpful for optimizing performance in multi-threaded applications by dynamically assessing hardware capabilities.

Purpose
-------

[](#purpose)

This tool enables developers to retrieve the number of CPU cores on a Linux server using PHP. This is especially useful for performance optimizations and load balancing in server environments.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- Detects the number of CPU cores on Linux-based systems.
- Utilizes shell commands (`hash`, `nproc`, `taskset`) to gather system information.
- Lightweight and easy to integrate into existing PHP applications.

Supported OS/Programs
---------------------

[](#supported-osprograms)

Currently supports **Linux** only, using the following utilities:

- `hash`
- `nproc`
- `taskset`

Check out these examples to see the CPU core detection in action:

### Async

[](#async)

```
$loop = Factory::create();

Detector::detectAsync($loop)->then(function ($result): void {
   echo $result, \PHP_EOL;
   for ($i = 0; $i < $result; $i++) {
       Resolver::resolve($i, 'uptime')->then(function ($cmd): void {
           echo $cmd, \PHP_EOL;
       });
   }
});

$loop->run();

```

[Full Example](examples/async.php)

### Sync

[](#sync)

```
$result = Detector::detect();
echo $result, \PHP_EOL;

for ($i = 0; $i < $result; $i++) {
   Resolver::resolve((string)$i, 'uptime')->then(function ($cmd): void {
       echo $cmd, \PHP_EOL;
   });
}

```
