PHP Opcode缓存加速组件:APC详解介绍

作者：袖梨 2022-06-24

PHP在性能上相对于其他编译型语言来说算不上突出，但是使用了Opcode缓存后性能提升还是很明显的。常见的缓存加速组件主要有 eAccelerator,XCache,APC本文主要介绍APC的安装使用。

APC，全称是Alternative PHP Cache，官方翻译叫"可选PHP缓存"。它为我们提供了缓存和优化PHP的中间代码的框架。 APC的缓存分两部分:系统缓存和用户数据缓存。

系统缓存

它是指APC把PHP文件源码的编译结果缓存起来，然后在每次调用时先对比时间标记。如果未过期，则使用缓存的中间代码运行。默认缓存3600s(一小时)。但是这样仍会浪费大量CPU时间。因此可以在php.ini中设置system缓存为永不过期(apc.ttl=0)。不过如果这样设置，改运php代码后需要重启WEB服务器。目前使用较多的是指此类缓存。

用户数据缓存

缓存由用户在编写PHP代码时用apc_store和apc_fetch函数操作读取、写入的。如果数据量不大的话，可以一试。如果数据量大，使用类似memcache此类的更加专著的内存缓存方案会更好。

APC模块的安装

最简单的方法是直接使用pecl，在命令行下输入：/usr/local/php/bin/pecl install apc
然后按照提示一步步完成即可，示例如下：

[root@iZ23bm1tc0pZ ~]# /usr/local/php/bin/pecl install apc
downloading APC-3.1.13.tgz ...
Starting to download APC-3.1.13.tgz (171,591 bytes)
.....................................done: 171,591 bytes
55 source files, building
running: phpize
Configuring for:
PHP Api Version:         20100412
Zend Module Api No:      20100525
Zend Extension Api No:   220100525
Enable internal debugging in APC [no] : no
Enable per request file info about files used from the APC cache [no] : no
Enable spin locks (EXPERIMENTAL) [no] : no
Enable memory protection (EXPERIMENTAL) [no] : no
Enable pthread mutexes (default) [no] : no
Enable pthread read/write locks (EXPERIMENTAL) [yes] : yes

然后重启服务器即可：

lnmp nginx restart

先看一下没有使用apc情况下的压测结果：

[root@iZ23bm1tc0pZ ~]# ab -n1000 -c100 http://zfsphp.cn/index.php

然后我们开启apc，测试结果如下：

可见吞吐率提高了一倍多，达到140.41reqs/s。
然后，我们在开启动态内容缓存(楼主的博客用的是Smarty缓存)，测试结果如下：
