Greg Tucker 35dc4f0b0c build: Change configure nasm min test for AVX512 
Due to bug in nasm on vinserti32x8 instruction, need nasm v2.13 or
better to build new AVX512 igzip files.  Changed the configure test
and doc to reflect.

Intel(R) Intelligent Storage Acceleration Library

Build Status

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

  • Assembler: nasm v2.11.01 or later (nasm v2.13 or better suggested for building in AVX512 support) or yasm version 1.2.0 or later.
  • Compiler: gcc, clang, icc or VC compiler.
  • Make: GNU 'make' or 'nmake' (Windows).
  • Optional: 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
  • make doc : build API manual
