This is pretty much Jerasure 1.2 without the -original Galois Field backend. Version 2.0 links directly to GF-Complete, which -is more flexible than the original, and *much* faster, because it leverages SIMD -instructions. -Authors: James S. Plank (University of Tennessee) - Kevin M. Greenan (Box) - ------------------------------------------------------------- - -External Documentation: - -See the file Manual.pdf for the programmer's manual and tutorial. This manual -is also available at http://web.eecs.utk.edu/~plank/plank/papers/UT-EECS-14-721.html. - -See https://bitbucket.org/jimplank/gf-complete for GF-Complete. - -NOTE: You must have GF-Complete installed (or compiled) in order to use Jerasure 2.0. - -There are two directories of source code: - -The src directory contains the jerasure code. -The Examples directory contains the example programs. - ------------------------------------------------------------- - -The makefile assumes that Examples is a subdirectory of the home directory. - -Installing if you are allowed to install GF-Complete on your machine: - -1.) Install GF-Complete -2.) ./configure -3.) make -4.) sudo make install - -This will install the library into your machine's lib directory, -the headers into include, and the example programs into bin. - ------------------------------------------------------------- - -Installing if you can compile GF-Complete, but you cannot install it: - -1.) Install GF-Complete. Let's suppose the full path to GF-Complete is - in the environment variable GFP -2A.) On Linux, set the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH so that it - includes $GFP/src/.libs -2B.) On a mac, set the environment variable DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH so that it - includes $GFP/src/.libs -2.) ./configure LDFLAGS=-L$GFP/src/.libs/ CPPFLAGS=-I$GFP/include -3.) make - -The examples will be in the directory Examples. The include files will -be in the directory include, and the library will be called libJerasure.a -in the directory src/.libs. - ------------------------------------------------------------- - -As long as GF-Complete is installed, Jerasure 2.0 can be used just as previous -versions. There is no need to define custom Galois Fields. Jerasure will -determine the default field to use, if one is not specified. - -If you would like to explore a using a different Galois Field implementation, -please see the manual. |
