The HipHop Virtual Machine: PHP Execution At The Speed Of JIT
The HipHop Virtual Machine (hhvm) is a mostly compatible PHP implementation that Facebook is actively developing. Unlike the static HipHip compiler that Facebook has used since 2010 to convert its PHP codebase to monolithic C++ programs, hhvm is a stack-based virtual machine and just-in-time (JIT) compiler that observes program behavior at run time to generate specialized x64 machine code. This presentation will introduce hhvm with a focus on how its JIT translates one basic block at a time, summarize current performance characteristics, and close with future directions and optimization opportunities, as well as hhvm’s suitability for use outside of Facebook.
