Comment on Many times faster (de)compression using multiple processors.

Comments

This is awesome since compression in parallel has been largely neglected in practice.

It's not neglected, it's just hard and a lot of projects failed. But there are many papers on the subject in the last 10 years. Also parallel is a vague term, it can mean multicore, SIMD, GPU and clusters. All different, with a unique set of tradeoffs.
