ISA-L_crypto is a collection of optimized low-level functions targeting storage applications. ISA-L_crypto includes:

• Multi-buffer hashes - run multiple hash jobs together on one core for much better throughput than single-buffer versions.

  • SHA1, SHA256, SHA512, MD5

• Multi-hash - Get the performance of multi-buffer hashing with a single-buffer interface.

• Multi-hash + murmur - run both together.

• AES - block ciphers

  • XTS, GCM, CBC

See ISA-L_crypto for updates. For non-crypto ISA-L see isa-l 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 targets include: nmake check.
