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.
