Description

eAccelerator is a free open-source PHP accelerator and optimizer. It accelerates performance of PHP scripts by caching them in the compiled state, so that the overhead of compiling is almost completely eliminated. It also optimizes scripts to speed up their execution. eAccelerator stores the compiled bytecode in shared memory and executes code from it directly. This accelerates performance of PHP applications on servers by up to 5 times. It is especially beneficial for high-traffic websites, where a lot of requests to the same scripts are made. It also has features such as memory protection and automatic garbage collection. eAccelerator is compatible with most versions of PHP, and is used by many web hosts and developers.
