Plzip is a massively parallel (multithreaded) data compressor compatible
|
|
|
|
|
with the lzip file format. The files produced by plzip are fully
|
|
|
|
|
compatible with lzip-1.4 or newer. Plzip is intended for faster
|
|
|
|
|
compression/decompression of big files on multiprocessor machines. On
|
|
|
|
|
files big enough, plzip can use hundreds of processors. Currently only
|

|
|
|
compression is performed in parallel. Parallel decompression is planned
|

|
|
|
to be implemented later.

Lzip is a lossless data compressor based on the LZMA algorithm, with
|
|
|
|
|
very safe integrity checking and a user interface similar to the one of
|
|
|
|
|
gzip or bzip2. Lzip decompresses almost as fast as gzip and compresses
|
|
|
|
|
better than bzip2, which makes it well suited for software distribution
|
|
|
|
|
and data archiving.
