| Guidelines |
| Phalanger, a project started in 2004 on MFF, enables applications developed in PHP language to run under Microsoft .NET Framework after being compiled into CIL bytecode. Several improvements were made in the past several years but there were no significant performance improvements made since the original project was published.
The goal of this diploma thesis is to inspect Phalanger's compilation process to find weak spots which have significant impact on compiled code performance. Result of this thesis will be experimental implementation which will improve the overall performance of Phalanger compiled code. Analysis should be done against real-world applications such as phpBB, WordPress or MediaWiki. For reference, student can inspect performance of other PHP compilers, such as Roadsend or Facebook HipHop. |
