Starvation & Livelock
Starvation: a thread never gets resources because others monopolise them. Livelock: threads actively respond to each other but make no progress — like two people stepping aside for each other indefinitely.

Swoole & Async PHP
PHP 7.4+
Swoole is a PHP extension providing a coroutine-based async runtime — enabling non-blocking I/O, connection pools, and WebSocket servers without Node.js or external message brokers.

Thread Safety
PHP 7.0+
Thread-safe code produces correct results regardless of how multiple threads interleave — achieved through immutability, atomic operations, or synchronisation primitives.

Thundering Herd Problem
Thundering herd: many processes simultaneously wake up to handle one event — all compete, one wins, the rest wasted work. Common after cache expiry or server restart.

Compare-and-Swap (CAS)
PHP 7.0+
5
An atomic CPU instruction that updates a memory location only if it contains an expected value — the foundation of lock-free data structures and optimistic concurrency control.

Coroutines — Cooperative Multitasking
PHP 8.1+
1
Functions that explicitly yield control — enabling concurrent I/O without threads, where code decides when to pause rather than being preemptively interrupted.

Memory Visibility & Cache Coherence
In multi-processor systems, each CPU has a cache — writes by one CPU may not be visible to others without memory barriers. PHP's process-per-request model avoids most visibility issues.

PHP Concurrency Options
PHP 7.0+
PHP's concurrency toolkit — Fibers for cooperative multitasking, pcntl for process forking, pthreads for true threading (CLI only), and async frameworks (ReactPHP, Amp).

Asynchronous vs Parallel Execution
PHP 7.0+ Async enables concurrency within a single thread by interleaving tasks during I/O waits; parallel execution uses multiple threads/processes for true simultaneous CPU execution.

Deadlock, Livelock & Starvation
1
Deadlock: processes wait for each other indefinitely. Livelock: processes keep changing state but make no progress. Starvation: a process is perpetually denied resources.

Event Loop Internals
PHP 8.1+ The mechanism that enables single-threaded async programs — a loop that checks for completed I/O events, runs their callbacks, then checks again.

Concurrency advanced
Processes vs Threads
PHP 7.0+ Processes are independent execution units with separate memory; threads share memory within a process — threads are lighter but require synchronisation to be safe.
