+## Project Zipline
+
+## Introduction
+
+Project Zipline is a program to accelerate innovation in lossless compression.  With this release Microsoft is making two contributions to the OCP open source community:
+
+1.	A new compression format called XP10 which is tailored for modern cloud datasets.
+
+2.	An RTL implementation which accelerates Huffman Encoding for XP10, Zlib and Gzip.
+
+Future releases will include additional RTL, an RTL test harness and an XP10 SW library.
+
+Project Zipline is open-sourced under the MIT License, see the LICENSE file.
+
+## Build instructions
+
+Instructions for building the RTL design of the Project Zipline / XP10 Huffman Encoder.
+
+Edit the file **./build.setup** for VCS environment settings
+
+Then source the file as follows:
+
+**`source build.setup`**
+
+Go to the huff run directory:
+
+**`cd dv/huff/run`**
+
+Compile the RTL into a simv executable:
+
+**`make compile_rtl`**
+  
+Note: There is no testbench included as part of this release
