FFTW is a free collection of fast C routines for computing the Discrete Fourier Transform in one or more dimensions. It includes complex, real, symmetric, and parallel transforms, and can handle arbitrary array sizes efficiently. FFTW is typically faster than other publically-available FFT implementations, and is even competitive with vendor-tuned libraries. (See our web page for extensive benchmarks.) To achieve this performance, FFTW uses novel code-generation and runtime self-optimization techniques (along with many other tricks).Available versions (Euler, old software stack)
Legacy versions | Supported versions | New versions |
---|---|---|
2.1.5, 2.1.5_both, 2.1.5_sp, 2.1.5_sp_both | 3.3.3 | 3.3.4 |
Please note that this page refers to installations from the old software stack. There are two software stacks on Euler. Newer versions of software are found in the new software stack.
Environment modules (Euler, old software stack)
The fftw module is a smart module, which checks for a loaded compiler module and then loads the corresponding FFTW version. For the module load command example, we use the standard compiler gcc/4.8.2.Version | Module load command | Additional modules loaded automatically |
---|---|---|
2.1.5 | module load legacy gcc/4.8.2 fftw/2.1.5 | |
2.1.5_both | module load legacy gcc/4.8.2 fftw/2.1.5_both | |
2.1.5_sp | module load legacy gcc/4.8.2 fftw/2.1.5_sp | |
2.1.5_sp_both | module load legacy gcc/4.8.2 fftw/2.1.5_sp_both | |
3.3.3 | module load gcc/4.8.2 fftw/3.3.3 | |
3.3.4 | module load new gcc/4.8.2 fftw/3.3.4 |
