Czip is a Cell Broadband Engine Unix utility designed to compress and decompress files on this platform.
Looking for a powerful and reliable software utility to compress files in gzip format? Look no further than czip, a unix-based utility that has been specifically designed for the cell broadband engine. With its cutting-edge features and stellar performance, czip is a top choice for professionals and casual users alike.
One of the standout features of czip is that it utilizes Jean-Loup Gailly's deflate algorithm, which is recognized as one of the most effective compression algorithms in existence. Additionally, czip is based in part on pigz, Mark Adlers parallel version of zlib, which further enhances its processing capabilities.
Installing czip is a breeze. Simply navigate to the ppu directory and type "make" to create the czip executable file. Once the file has been compiled, it can be moved to the /user/local/bin or /bin directories. From there, users can easily compress files by typing in "czip" followed by the "-jn" flag (where n is the number of spes you wish to use) and the file path of the file you want to compress. If no options are specified, czip will assume that 8 spes are needed.
The latest release of czip offers a number of exciting new features. For example, the software now allows users to compress files within the 64-bit file size range by breaking up the files into 2-gigabyte chunks. Additionally, data chunk transfer has been optimized for 64-bit processing, which further improves speed and performance.
There's even a handy man page included in the software package. Simply move the file "czip.1.gz" to the "/usr/share/man/man1/" folder and you're ready to go. Whether you're a seasoned professional or a casual user, czip is the ideal solution for all your file compression needs.
