Summary
QATzip is a user space library which builds on top of the Intel QuickAssist
Technology user space library, to provide extended accelerated compression
and decompression services by offloading the actual compression and
decompression request(s) to the Intel Chipset Series. QATzip produces data
using the standard gzip* format (RFC1952) with extended headers. The data
can be decompressed with a compliant gzip* implementation. QATzip is
designed to take full advantage of the performance provided by Intel
QuickAssist Technology.
