Facebook and HipHop at New York PHP
Tonight we’re hosting Scott MacVicar from Facebook as he presents their highly optimized version of PHP called HipHop.
HipHop translates and compiles regular PHP source into a C++ binary that reduces CPU and memory usage and thus helps Facebook serve twice the content with a two-thirds the resources of a stock Apache and PHP system.
Look for the slides in our New York PHP user group archives shortly.
Follow development of the open source HipHop project at github and keep up with Scott via his blog.
