Description
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.
Plzip is a massively parallel (multi-threaded), 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. Plzip uses the lzip
file format; the files produced by plzip are fully compatible with
lzip-1.4 or newer.
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.
Plzip is intended for faster compression/decompression of big files on
multiprocessor machines, which makes it specially well suited for
distribution of big software files and large scale data archiving. On
files big enough, plzip can use hundreds of processors.
