base64-avx512

Please ensure that you have a recent compiler. For example, you may use the GNU GCC 8 compiler. On some machines, this can be selected by the command export CC=gcc-8.

make

You should have a Cannon Lake processor or better.

You can also run the software using a Docker container...

docker build -t avx512base64 .
mkdir -p dockeroutput
docker run -v $PWD/dockeroutput:/dockeroutput --privileged  avx512base64

There is a bash script (docker.sh) to help.
