ISA-L is a collection of optimized low-level functions targeting storage
applications. ISA-L includes:
* De-compression - Fast inflate-compatible data compression.

Building ISA-L
### Prerequisites
-* yasm version 1.2.0 or later or nasm v2.11.01 or later.
-* gcc, clang, icc or VC compiler.
-* GNU 'make' or 'nmake' (Windows).
-* Building with autotools requires autoconf/automake packages.
+* Make: GNU 'make' or 'nmake' (Windows).
+* Optional: Building with autotools requires autoconf/automake packages.
+
+x86_64:
+* 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.
+
+aarch64:
+* Assembler: gas v2.24 or later.
+* Compiler: gcc v4.7 or later.
+
+other:
+* Compiler: Portable base functions are available that build with most C compilers.
### Autotools
To build and install the library with autotools it is usually sufficient to run:
* `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
