mpibzip2 - parallel bzip2 for cluster machines

Posted by Sachin Garg on 20th August 2007 | Permanent Link

Jeff Gilchrist has released mpibzip2, a parallel implementation of the popular bzip2 block-sorting file compressor that uses MPI and achieves significant speedup on cluster machines.

Similar to his pbzip2 multi-threaded bzip2, the output is fully compatible with bzip2. The results show a near linear speed-up for upto 30 nodes.

Source code is available under BSD style license.
