A Parallel Compression and Deduplication utility View On GitHub Downloads: ZIP TAR end banner Pcompress is an attempt to revisit Data Compression using unique combinations of existing and some new techniques. Both high compression ratio and performance are key goals along with the ability to leverage all the cores on a multi-core CPU. It also aims to bring to the table scalable, high-throughput Global Deduplication of archival storage. The deduplication capability is also available for single-file compression modes providing very interesting capabilities. Other projects providing some of these features include Lrzip , eXdupe . Full archivers providing some of the similar features include the excellent FreeArc and PeaZIP . Pcompress is not an archiver but provides a unique combination of features to both maximize compression ratio and provide high speed. Parallel ...
