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.

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
