    Phoronix: Facebook Brings HHVM To ARM 64-bit

    It looks like Facebook could be exploring more from ARM servers in their data centers as they have now brought their HHVM PHP implementation to AArch64...

    It's was also ported to POWER (ppc64el) too.

        HHVM must been great in the times of PHP 5.3 when PHP was very slow, but is it still any compelling with PHP 7.1 which is much faster than 5.3 was?

          uid313 Most benchmarks show that PHP 7 has the same or better performance than hhvm with real world applications.

            Little-endian but not big-endian?

            While I think little-endian makes more logical sense, I can’t help feeling a little sad that the world’s processor architectures are turning into a little-endian monoculture...

              HHVM, IIUC, provided the competition to motivate PHP core to make the VM changes allowing for the performance leap from 5.3 to 7.x. PHP stable still doesn't have JIT which promises further performance increases, whereas HHVM does (though it's planned for PHP "8"). So, HHVM has a compelling reason to exist IMO, if only for the competition and design choice ideas from other language and VM designers.

                php 7 is faster than hhvm.
