HHVM/About/pt

HHVM (also known as the HipHop Virtual Machine) is a virtual machine for PHP, with an associated just-in-time (JIT) compiler. Deploying HHVM on a MediaWiki wiki should lead to performance improvements across the board for most users.

HHVM was fully deployed to all wikis on 2014-11-25. You can verify that it is enabled for you by visiting Special:Version on your wiki, and checking that it says "HHVM" instead of "PHP" in the "Installed software" table.

Our preliminary benchmarks show that HHVM is significantly faster than the current PHP interpreter.
