These routines, which support -parallel one- and multi-dimensional transforms of both real and -complex data, are the easiest way to take advantage of multiple -processors with FFTW. They work just like the corresponding -uniprocessor transform routines, except that you have an extra -initialization routine to call, and there is a routine to set the -number of threads to employ. Any program that uses the uniprocessor -FFTW can therefore be trivially modified to use the multi-threaded -FFTW. - - <p>A shared-memory machine is one in which all CPUs can directly access -the same main memory, and such machines are now common due to the -ubiquity of multi-core CPUs. FFTW's multi-threading support allows -you to utilize these additional CPUs transparently from a single -program. However, this does not necessarily translate into -performance gains—when multiple threads/CPUs are employed, there is -an overhead required for synchronization that may outweigh the -computatational parallelism. Therefore, you can only benefit from -threads if your problem is sufficiently large. -<a name="index-shared_002dmemory-317"></a><a name="index-threads-318"></a> - -<ul class="menu"> -<li><a accesskey="1" href="Installation-and-Supported-Hardware_002fSoftware.html#Installation-and-Supported-Hardware_002fSoftware">Installation and Supported Hardware/Software</a> -<li><a accesskey="2" href="Usage-of-Multi_002dthreaded-FFTW.html#Usage-of-Multi_002dthreaded-FFTW">Usage of Multi-threaded FFTW</a> -<li><a accesskey="3" href="How-Many-Threads-to-Use_003f.html#How-Many-Threads-to-Use_003f">How Many Threads to Use?</a> -<li><a accesskey="4" href="Thread-safety.html#Thread-safety">Thread safety</a> -</ul> - -<!-- --> -</body></html> -
