-==============
-
-liberasurecode is an Erasure Code API library written in C with pluggable Erasure Code backends.
-
-----
-
-Highlights
-==========
-
- * Unified Erasure Coding interface for common storage workloads.
-
- * Pluggable Erasure Code backends - As of v1.0, liberasurecode supports the following backends:
-
- - 'Jerasure' - Erasure Coding library that supports Reed-Solomon, Cauchy backends [1]
- - 'ISA-L' - Intel Storage Acceleration Library - SIMD accelerated Erasure Coding backends [2]
- - 'SHSS' - NTT Lab Japan's hybrid Erasure Coding backend [4]
- - 'Flat XOR HD' - built-in to liberasurecode, based on [3]
- - 'NULL' template backend implemented to help future backend writers
-
-
- * True 'plugin' architecture - liberasurecode uses Dynamically Loaded (DL) libraries to realize a true 'plugin' architecture. This also allows one to build liberasurecode indepdendent of the Erasure Code backend libraries.
-
- * Cross-platform - liberasurecode is known to work on Linux (Fedora/Debian flavors), Solaris, BSD and Darwin/Mac OS X.
-
- * Community support - Developed alongside Erasure Code authority Kevin Greenan, liberasurecode is an actively maintained open-source project with growing community involvement (Openstack Swift, Ceph, PyECLib, NTT Labs).
