Intel(R) Intelligent Storage Acceleration Library ================================================= [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/01org/isa-l.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/01org/isa-l) ISA-L is a collection of optimized low-level functions targeting storage applications. ISA-L includes: * Erasure codes - Fast block Reed-Solomon type erasure codes for any encode/decode matrix in GF(2^8). * CRC - Fast implementations of cyclic redundancy check. Six different polynomials supported. - iscsi32, ieee32, t10dif, ecma64, iso64, jones64. * Raid - calculate and operate on XOR and P+Q parity found in common RAID implementations. * Compression - Fast deflate-compatible data compression. * De-compression - Fast inflate-compatible data compression. Also see: * [ISA-L for updates](https://github.com/01org/isa-l). * For crypto functions see [isa-l_crypto on github](https://github.com/01org/isa-l_crypto). * The [github wiki](https://github.com/01org/isa-l/wiki). * ISA-L [mailing list](https://lists.01.org/mailman/listinfo/isal). * [Contributing](CONTRIBUTING.md). Building ISA-L -------------- ### Prerequisites * yasm version 1.2.0 or later or nasm v2.11.01 or later. * gcc, clang, icc or VC compiler. * GNU 'make' or 'nmake' (Windows). * Building with autotools requires autoconf/automake packages. ### Autotools To build and install the library with autotools it is usually sufficient to run: ./autogen.sh ./configure make sudo make install ### Makefile To use a standard makefile run: make -f Makefile.unx ### Windows On Windows use nmake to build dll and static lib: nmake -f Makefile.nmake ### Other make targets Other targets include: * `make check` : create and run tests * `make tests` : create additional unit tests * `make perfs` : create included performance tests * `make ex` : build examples * `make other` : build other utilities such as compression file tests
