@cindex introduction
Plzip is a parallel version of the lzip data compressor. 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. Currently only compression is performed in
parallel. Parallel decompression is planned to be implemented later.
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
