Currently only +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. |
