Anyone compared this to the intel ISA-L library that uses the various intel specific instructions to accelerate reed solomon encoding?

I believe this is what Facebook, Microsoft, and similar organizations are going to avoid Hadoops 3x replication overhead, while still keeping the same degree of protection.

i (fastecc author) don't have isa-l benchmarks at hand, but i compared fastecc to the best O(N^2) implementation i know - MultiPar. My conclusion is that MultiPar will be slower than FastECC starting from ~32 ECC blocks
