d@0 57 <h3 class="section">4.2 Using Plans</h3>
d@0 58
d@0 59 <p>Plans for all transform types in FFTW are stored as type
d@0 60 <code>fftw_plan</code> (an opaque pointer type), and are created by one of the
d@0 61 various planning routines described in the following sections.
d@0 62 <a name="index-fftw_005fplan-146"></a>An <code>fftw_plan</code> contains all information necessary to compute the
d@0 63 transform, including the pointers to the input and output arrays.
d@0 64
d@0 65 <pre class="example"> void fftw_execute(const fftw_plan plan);
d@0 66 </pre>
d@0 67 <p><a name="index-fftw_005fexecute-147"></a>
d@0 68 This executes the <code>plan</code>, to compute the corresponding transform on
d@0 69 the arrays for which it was planned (which must still exist). The plan
d@0 70 is not modified, and <code>fftw_execute</code> can be called as many times as
d@0 71 desired.
d@0 72
d@0 73 <p>To apply a given plan to a different array, you can use the new-array execute
d@0 74 interface. See <a href="New_002darray-Execute-Functions.html#New_002darray-Execute-Functions">New-array Execute Functions</a>.
d@0 75
d@0 76 <p><code>fftw_execute</code> (and equivalents) is the only function in FFTW
d@0 77 guaranteed to be thread-safe; see <a href="Thread-safety.html#Thread-safety">Thread safety</a>.
d@0 78
d@0 79 <p>This function:
d@0 80 <pre class="example"> void fftw_destroy_plan(fftw_plan plan);
d@0 81 </pre>
d@0 82 <p><a name="index-fftw_005fdestroy_005fplan-148"></a>deallocates the <code>plan</code> and all its associated data.
d@0 83
d@0 84 <p>FFTW's planner saves some other persistent data, such as the
d@0 85 accumulated wisdom and a list of algorithms available in the current
d@0 86 configuration. If you want to deallocate all of that and reset FFTW
d@0 87 to the pristine state it was in when you started your program, you can
d@0 88 call:
d@0 89
d@0 90 <pre class="example"> void fftw_cleanup(void);
d@0 91 </pre>
d@0 92 <p><a name="index-fftw_005fcleanup-149"></a>
d@0 93 After calling <code>fftw_cleanup</code>, all existing plans become undefined,
d@0 94 and you should not attempt to execute them nor to destroy them. You can
d@0 95 however create and execute/destroy new plans, in which case FFTW starts
d@0 96 accumulating wisdom information again.
d@0 97
d@0 98 <p><code>fftw_cleanup</code> does not deallocate your plans; you should still
d@0 99 call <code>fftw_destroy_plan</code> for this purpose.
d@0 100
d@0 101 <p>The following two routines are provided purely for academic purposes
d@0 102 (that is, for entertainment).
d@0 103
d@0 104 <pre class="example"> void fftw_flops(const fftw_plan plan,
d@0 105 double *add, double *mul, double *fma);
d@0 106 </pre>
d@0 107 <p><a name="index-fftw_005fflops-150"></a>
d@0 108 Given a <code>plan</code>, set <code>add</code>, <code>mul</code>, and <code>fma</code> to an
d@0 109 exact count of the number of floating-point additions, multiplications,
d@0 110 and fused multiply-add operations involved in the plan's execution. The
d@0 111 total number of floating-point operations (flops) is <code>add + mul +
d@0 112 2*fma</code>, or <code>add + mul + fma</code> if the hardware supports fused
d@0 113 multiply-add instructions (although the number of FMA operations is only
d@0 114 approximate because of compiler voodoo). (The number of operations
d@0 115 should be an integer, but we use <code>double</code> to avoid overflowing
d@0 116 <code>int</code> for large transforms; the arguments are of type <code>double</code>
d@0 117 even for single and long-double precision versions of FFTW.)
d@0 118
d@0 119 <pre class="example"> void fftw_fprint_plan(const fftw_plan plan, FILE *output_file);
d@0 120 void fftw_print_plan(const fftw_plan plan);
d@0 121 </pre>
d@0 122 <p><a name="index-fftw_005ffprint_005fplan-151"></a><a name="index-fftw_005fprint_005fplan-152"></a>
d@0 123 This outputs a &ldquo;nerd-readable&rdquo; representation of the <code>plan</code> to
d@0 124 the given file or to <code>stdout</code>, respectively.
