Memcached is  an application, which is used to cache the results of web applications  such as vBulletin, SMF (Simple Machines Forum) and others. By caching  the results within memory, the requests for information are served  quicker, rather than going to the hard drive to pull the information.  Below, we've outlined how to enable memcached on vBulletin and SMF.
 How to enable memcached on vBulletin:
 Enabling memcached on vBulletin is quite easy, simply follow the  below mentioned steps and you should have memcached enabled within only a  few minutes. Please follow the steps below:

• Login to your cPanel web hosting account via FTP
• Navigate to your vBulletin installation directory
• Then switch directories to the /includes/ folder
• From there, locate and open the "config.php" file
• Locate the following section within the "config.php" file:                  /*$config['Datastore']['class'] = 'vB_Datastore_Memcached';

$i = 0;
// First Server
$i++;
$config['Misc']['memcacheserver'][$i] = '127.0.0.1';
$config['Misc']['memcacheport'][$i] = 11211;
$config['Misc']['memcachepersistent'][$i] = true;
$config['Misc']['memcacheweight'][$i] = 1;
$config['Misc']['memcachetimeout'][$i] = 1;
$config['Misc']['memcacheretry_interval'][$i] = 15;

 How to enable memcached on SMF:
 When it comes to enabling memcached on your SMF the process is not  very complicated, it's much like the way it was on vBulletin. However,  it can be done via the web interface rather than within a configuration  file.
