This is a '''list of [[PHP accelerator]]s'''.

== Alternative PHP Cache (APC) ==

'''Alternative PHP Cache''' is a [[free_softwarefree software| free]] and [[open source | open]] ([[PHP license]]) framework that caches the output of the PHP bytecode compiler in [[Shared memory (interprocess communication)|shared memory]], thus reducing parsing and disk I/O overhead for later requests; and a shared memory cache for user data. For an application consisting of a large source code base such as [[Drupal]], a 3x increase in page generation speed is possible as a result.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://2bits.com/articles/benchmarking-drupal-with-php-op-code-caches-apc-eaccelerator-and-xcache-compared.html |title=Benchmarking Drupal with PHP op-code caches: APC, eAccelerator and XCache compared &#124; 2bits.com, Inc. - Drupal Performance Optimization, Development, Managed Hosting, Customization and Consulting |publisher=2bits.com |date= |accessdate=2014-02-14}}</ref>

It has been used at Facebook and has a mature codebase thanks to numerous contributors, including Facebook itself.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://blog.facebook.com/blog.php?post=2356432130 |title=PHP and Facebook |publisher=Blog.facebook.com |date= |accessdate=2014-02-14}}</ref>

A free, open source (New [[BSD License]]), PHP accelerator developed by Microsoft for PHP under Windows. The extension includes PHP opcode cache, file cache, resolve file path cache, object/session cache, file change notifications and lock/unlock API's. Combination of all these caches results in significant performance improvements for PHP applications hosted on Windows. The extension is primarily used with [[Internet Information Services]] and non-thread-safe build of PHP via [[FastCGI]] protocol.
