“I would prefer it to be written in PHP or Java (I know PHP can’t do multiple threads, but it could be accomplished with multiple processes)”.
What does this statement mean when it says “multiple processes”? Are there any good examples out there?
Multiple-processes means several processes, probably executed in parallel.
And a “process” is just an execution of a program.
So, multiple-processes means several executions of a program — in parallel, to achieve some kind of multiple-threads result : instead of having one program with several threads, which is not possible in PHP, you launch the same program more than once in parallel (and, generally, each instance of a program will work with a subset of the total amout of data).
