lrzip ChangeLog
|
||||
NOVEMBER 2010, version 0.530 Con Kolivas
|
||||
* Massive rewrite of backend compression phase. Now the stream is split up
|
||||
into as many chunks as there are CPUs, of at least 10MB in size, that are
|
||||
still mallocable. Once the stream has reached a chunk of this size, its buffer
|
||||
is handed to a new backend compression thread which works while the rzip stream
|
||||
continues processing. This has the effect of parallelising workloads almost
|
||||
linearly up to the number of CPUs on the slower compression backends. ZPAQ,
|
||||
in particular, is effectively 4x faster on quad core now. Decompression is
|
||||
unchanged.
|
||||
* Added the -p option to allow the number of processors to be specified to
|
||||
override the detected number.
|
||||
* Changed the default level back to 7 as 9 wasn't offering significanly more
|
||||
compression but was adding time.
|
||||
* Increased the size of all the buffers to other backends now as well, since
|
||||
each block adds overhead with its header.
|
||||
* Numerous alterations to screen output to cope with new threaded compression
|
||||
phase.
|
||||
* Deprecated the -P option since not setting the file permissions only
|
||||
generates a warning now, not a failure.
|
||||
* Updated docs and benchmarks.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
NOVEMBER 2010, version 0.520 Con Kolivas
|
||||
* Distros don't like 3 point version numbering so just repackaged as 0.520.
