1Intel(R) Intelligent Storage Acceleration Library 2================================================= 3 4[](https://travis-ci.org/01org/isa-l) 5 6ISA-L is a collection of optimized low-level functions targeting storage 7applications. ISA-L includes: 8* Erasure codes - Fast block Reed-Solomon type erasure codes for any 9 encode/decode matrix in GF(2^8). 10* CRC - Fast implementations of cyclic redundancy check. Six different 11 polynomials supported. 12 - iscsi32, ieee32, t10dif, ecma64, iso64, jones64. 13* Raid - calculate and operate on XOR and P+Q parity found in common RAID 14 implementations. 15* Compression - Fast deflate-compatible data compression. 16* De-compression - Fast inflate-compatible data compression. 17 18Also see: 19* [ISA-L for updates](https://github.com/01org/isa-l). 20* For crypto functions see [isa-l_crypto on github](https://github.com/01org/isa-l_crypto). 21* The [github wiki](https://github.com/01org/isa-l/wiki) including a list of 22 [distros/ports](https://github.com/01org/isa-l/wiki/Ports--Repos) offering binary packages. 23* ISA-L [mailing list](https://lists.01.org/mailman/listinfo/isal). 24* [Contributing](CONTRIBUTING.md). 25 26Building ISA-L 27-------------- 28 29### Prerequisites 30 31* Assembler: nasm v2.11.01 or later (nasm v2.13 or better suggested for building in AVX512 support) 32 or yasm version 1.2.0 or later. 33* Compiler: gcc, clang, icc or VC compiler. 34* Make: GNU 'make' or 'nmake' (Windows). 35* Optional: Building with autotools requires autoconf/automake packages. 36 37### Autotools 38To build and install the library with autotools it is usually sufficient to run: 39 40 ./autogen.sh 41 ./configure 42 make 43 sudo make install 44 45### Makefile 46To use a standard makefile run: 47 48 make -f Makefile.unx 49 50### Windows 51On Windows use nmake to build dll and static lib: 52 53 nmake -f Makefile.nmake 54 55### Other make targets 56Other targets include: 57* `make check` : create and run tests 58* `make tests` : create additional unit tests 59* `make perfs` : create included performance tests 60* `make ex` : build examples 61* `make other` : build other utilities such as compression file tests 62* `make doc` : build API manual 63
