We believe that FFTW, which is free software, should +become the FFT library of choice for most applications. Our benchmarks, +performed on on a variety of platforms, show that FFTW's performance is +typically superior to that of other publicly available FFT software. +Moreover, FFTW's performance is portable: the program will perform well on +most architectures without modification. - FFTW, the Fastest Fourier Transform in the West. FFTW is a comprehensive - collection of fast C routines for computing the discrete Fourier transform - (DFT) in one or more dimensions, of both real and complex data, and of - arbitrary input size. FFTW also includes parallel transforms, documented - elsewhere. We assume herein that the reader is already familiar with the - properties and uses of the DFT that are relevant to her application. - Otherwise, see e.g. `The Fast Fourier Transform' by E. O. Brigham - (Prentice-Hall, Englewood Cliffs, NJ, 1974). Our web page also has links to - FFT-related information online, see - - http://theory.lcs.mit.edu/~fftw +The FFTW package was developed at MIT by Matteo Frigo and Steven G. +Johnson. Please send email to fftw@theory.lcs.mit.edu so that we can keep +track of users and send you information about new releases. The latest +version of FFTW, benchmarks, links, and other information can be found at +the FFTW home page: http://theory.lcs.mit.edu/~fftw |
