Plzip 是一个 lzip 数据压缩器的并行版本，主要用于高速处理大文件的压缩和解压缩，可进一步发掘出多核心处理器的能力，采用c/c++开发并在GPLv3的协议下授权。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, and can be rescued with lziprecover.
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 (several GB), plzip can use hundreds of processors.
最新版本：1.0
该版本通过提升最大可用工作线程数来提升了压缩的伸缩性，提升了解压缩的可伸缩性；configure 接受独立参数，增加 install-as-lzip 和 install-bin 到 Makefile。
