Special Parameters

The LZO coding initialization functions have a special parameter method. This parameter specifies level of parallelization and generic LZO compatibility to be used in the LZO encoding. The table below lists possible values of the method parameter and their meanings.

Parameter method for the LZO Compression Functions
Value	Descriptions
IppLZO1XST	The compression and decompression are performed sequentially in a single-thread mode with full binary compatibility with generic LZO libraries and applications
IppLZO1XMT	The compression and decompression are performed in parallel (multi-threaded mode), it is more fast, but not compatible with the generic LZO.
