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. Three different
polynomials supported.
- iscsi, ieee, t10dif
* Raid - calculate and operate on XOR and P+Q parity found in common RAID
implementations.
* Compression - Fast deflate-compatible data compression.
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)
