Unable to load dynamic library 'parallel' (tried: C:\xampp\php\ext\parallel ( The specified module could not be found.)

I am currently creating a webpage using PHP 8 that will require multiple threads. I've tried a lot with pthreads and then in the end I found out that this extension is considered dead.

Then I wanted to try out parallel\Runtime extension. The problem here is that I can't find anywhere on the Internet whether this extension can also be used for PHP 8. Other than that, I didn't managed to install it properly. I tried to solve the errors with other articles on stack-overflow but no one works for me because I use PHP 8. I worked through the following steps:

But if I go in my console and type php -v following error occurs (Some text is in german):

PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'parallel' (tried: C:\xampp\php\ext\parallel (Das angegebene Modul wurde nicht gefunden), C:\xampp\php\ext\php_parallel.dll (Das angegebene Modul wurde nicht gefunden)) in Unknown on line 0

PHP 8.0.9 (cli) (built: Jul 29 2021 14:12:19) ( ZTS Visual C++ 2019 x64 )

I don't know how to fix this problem so that I can multithread in PHP 8.
