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.
See ISA-L for updates. For crypto functions see isa-l_crypto on github.
ISA-L requires yasm version 1.2.0 or later or nasm v2.11.01 or later. Building with autotools requires autoconf/automake packages.
To build and install the library with autotools it is usually sufficient to run the following:
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install
Other targets include: make check, make tests, make perfs, make ex (examples) and make other.
On Windows use nmake to build dll and static lib:
nmake -f Makefile.nmake
Other targes include: nmake check.
