CentOS 7.x Centmin Mod LEMP + HHVM fastcgi mode on CentOS 7

Thought I'd revisit Facebook's HHVM in fastcgi mode on CentOS 7 (only not bothering with CentOS 6) and looks promising but man does it consume alot of cpu, memory and disk resources for source compilation ! Source compiled as alot of CentOS RPM yum repo solutions involve out dated HHVM versions.

---

Note HHVM solution for Centmin Mod LEMP stack, if or whenever it's available will be a Centmin Mod Premium User Membership option most likely due to amount of time and resources I would need to put towards such an integration. To give you an idea, just the dev server would cost US$2,000/yr and based on my hourly rates of work HHVM solution would be around US$30,000/yr in man hours ! PHP 7 seems like a much better alternative

First attempt and just the git cloned source code consumes 1.4GB disk and it failed source compile 77+ minutes into compliation as compiler ran out of free available memory. You'd probably need at least 3-4GB memory and at least 2hrs for compile and install time.

Code:

free -m
              total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:           1839          71        1695           0          72        1644
Swap:          1535         230        1305

4GB Linode VPS HHVM Compile Test: GCC

Testing 2nd attempt on 4GB Linode VPS (Fremont, CA) and compilation peaks around 2813MB of memory usage so far ! But much faster on GCC 4.8.5 with CentOS 7 on 4GB Linode VPS. Will be testing via Clang compiler instead of GCC as well to compare.

4GB Linode VPS HHVM Compile Test: Clang

4GB Linode KVM CentOS 7 install Facebook HHVM fastcgi mode on Centmin Mod but this time with Clang instead of GCC compiler.

Unfortunately, compilation failed with Clang 3.4.2 So stick with GCC for now

4GB vs 8GB vs 16GB Linode VPS HHVM Compile Test: GCC

I upgraded the 4GB Linode with 4 CPU cores to 8GB Linode with 6 CPU cores and 16GB Linode with 8 CPU cores for comparison install time tests. All Linode KVM VPSes were using Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2680 v3 @ 2.50GHz processors. Edit: for 16GB Linode VPS test also re-attempting Clang compiler instead of GCC.

Centmin Mod 123.09beta01 install with PHP 5.6.16 default via

Code:

curl -O https://centminmod.com/betainstaller56.sh && chmod 0700 betainstaller56.sh && bash betainstaller56.sh

• 4GB Linode = 1031.9 seconds
• 8GB Linode = 920.7 seconds ~10.78% faster
• 16GB Linode = 818.8 seconds ~20.65% faster than 4GB Linode and 11.07% faster than 8GB Linode

HHVM 3.12dev install

• 4GB Linode GCC 4.8.5 compiler = 2248 seconds
• 8GB Linode GCC 4.8.5 compiler = 1613 seconds ~28.25% faster
• 16GB Linode GCC 4.8.5 compiler = 1163 seconds ~48.27% faster than 4GB Linode and ~27.90% faster than 8GB Linode. Looks like you'd need at least 8 cpu thread based server for decent enough HHVM source compilation times.
• 16GB Linode Clang 3.4.2 compiler = 2040 seconds. Looks like GCC was faster than Clang !

To compare on 16GB Linode, I also timed the PHP 5.6.16 to PHP 7.0.1 upgrade source compile + recompile via source all custom PHP extensions time via centmin.sh menu option 5

• PHP 5.6.16 to PHP 7.0.1 Update time = 340.90 seconds on 16GB Linode

Source compiled PHP extensions include geoip, igbinary, imagick, memcache, memcached, mongodb, redis. For mongodb and memcache the are still compiled when they fail for PHP 7 support for now and are later removed from loading.

Do you want to run YUM install checks ?  [y/n]

This will increase your upgrade duration time wise.
Check the change log centminmod.com/changelog.html
to see if any Nginx or PHP related new additions
which require checking YUM prequisites are met.
If no new additions made, you can skip the
YUM install check to speed up upgrade time.

[y/n]: n
PHP Upgrade - Would you like to continue? [y/n] y
----------------------------------------------------------------
Install which version of PHP? (version i.e. 5.6.16, 7.0.0, NGDEBUG)
PHP 7.0.0 is GA Stable but still may have broken PHP extensions.
NGDEBUG is PHP 7.1.0 minus incompatible PHP extensions
----------------------------------------------------------------
Enter PHP Version number you want to upgrade/downgrade to: 7.0.1

Code:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Detected PHP 7.0 branch.
You can compile Zend OPcache (Zend Optimizer Plus+) support
as an alternative to using APC Cache or Xcache cache.
But Zend OPcache only provides PHP opcode cache and
DOESN'T do data caching, so if you web apps such as Wordpress,
Drupal or vBulletin require data caching to APC or Xcache,
it won't work with Zend OPcache.

For Wordpress at least, not sure if the amount of resources and effort put into compiling HHVM on CentOS 7 is necessary when you can throw Redis caching at Nginx and WP object caching level in front of a PHP 7 install on a 2GB KVM VPS server for very good results as well = 302 million hits/day Wordpress blog !

loader.io 100 clients/second quick test

Quick loader.io test with 100 clients/second load to test Wordpress 4.4 blog installed via centmin.sh menu option 22 with WP Super Cache and WP Cron disabled (system crond used instead). Did 2 runs for each PHP 7.0.1 and HHVM tests. You'll notice HHVM has a much higher max response time on 1st run due to HHVM needing to warm up first.

You'll notice again HHVM has a much higher max response time on 1st run due to HHVM needing to warm up first. But once HHVM is warmed up on run 2, the average response time is slightly better

• You'll notice again HHVM has a much higher max response time on 1st run due to HHVM needing to warm up first. This time HHVM for first ~15 seconds or so had 600 clients 2x times the test number until it warmed up ???
• But once HHVM is warmed up on run 2, the average response time is slightly better

PHP 7.0.1

• run 1 = 33ms avg response time & min/max 29/168ms

Did 2 runs for each PHP 7.0.1 and HHVM tests. Added Redis Nginx level caching + Redis Object WP Plugin cache loader.io tests too to compare.

• You'll notice again HHVM has a much higher max response time on 1st run due to HHVM needing to warm up first. This time HHVM for almost the entire run up to around 50 seconds or so had 800 clients 2x times the test number ??? This resulted in 1st run with much slower average response times at 1118ms
• But once HHVM is warmed up on run 2, the average response time is slightly better than PHP 7.0.1
• Redis cache is the winner here with 1/2 the response time averages and much lower max response times Not surprising for a dedicated Xeon E3-1245v2 server given this setup managed 302 million hits/day on a 2GB DigitalOcean VPS.
• The HHVM log seems to be populated full of these warning messages though:

For Redis, if one server isn't enough, you can always setup a load balanced cluster or auto sharded Redis cluster



redis server standalone

Code:

redis-benchmark -h 127.0.0.1 -p 6379 -r 1000000 -n 2000000 -t get,set,lpush,lpop -P 16 -q
SET: 566091.12 requests per second
GET: 932400.94 requests per second
LPUSH: 725426.19 requests per second
LPOP: 668896.31 requests per second

redis cluster with 4 masters + 4 slaves connecting to master on port 23001

Code:

redis-benchmark -h 127.0.0.1 -p 23001 -r 1000000 -n 2000000 -t get,set,lpush,lpop -P 16 -q

GET: 1443001.38 requests per second
LPUSH: 1327140.00 requests per second
LPOP: 1456664.25 requests per second

redis auto sharded cluster proxy with redis cluster master as backends
