Chris@19 56
Chris@19 57 <p><a name="index-code-generator-625"></a>
Chris@19 58 The directory <code>genfft</code> contains the programs that were used to
Chris@19 59 generate FFTW's &ldquo;codelets,&rdquo; which are hard-coded transforms of small
Chris@19 60 sizes.
Chris@19 61 <a name="index-codelet-626"></a>We do not expect casual users to employ the generator, which is a rather
Chris@19 62 sophisticated program that generates directed acyclic graphs of FFT
Chris@19 63 algorithms and performs algebraic simplifications on them. It was
Chris@19 64 written in Objective Caml, a dialect of ML, which is available at
Chris@19 65 <a href="http://caml.inria.fr/ocaml/index.en.html">http://caml.inria.fr/ocaml/index.en.html</a>.
Chris@19 66 <a name="index-Caml-627"></a>
Chris@19 67
Chris@19 68 <p>If you have Objective Caml installed (along with recent versions of
Chris@19 69 GNU <code>autoconf</code>, <code>automake</code>, and <code>libtool</code>), then you
Chris@19 70 can change the set of codelets that are generated or play with the
Chris@19 71 generation options. The set of generated codelets is specified by the
Chris@19 72 <code>{dft,rdft}/{codelets,simd}/*/Makefile.am</code> files. For example, you can add
Chris@19 73 efficient REDFT codelets of small sizes by modifying
Chris@19 74 <code>rdft/codelets/r2r/Makefile.am</code>.
Chris@19 75 <a name="index-REDFT-628"></a>After you modify any <code>Makefile.am</code> files, you can type <code>sh
Chris@19 76 bootstrap.sh</code> in the top-level directory followed by <code>make</code> to
Chris@19 77 re-generate the files.
Chris@19 78
Chris@19 79 <p>We do not provide more details about the code-generation process, since
Chris@19 80 we do not expect that most users will need to generate their own code.
Chris@19 81 However, feel free to contact us at <a href="mailto:fftw@fftw.org">fftw@fftw.org</a> if
Chris@19 82 you are interested in the subject.
Chris@19 83
Chris@19 84 <p><a name="index-monadic-programming-629"></a>You might find it interesting to learn Caml and/or some modern
Chris@19 85 programming techniques that we used in the generator (including monadic
Chris@19 86 programming), especially if you heard the rumor that Java and
Chris@19 87 object-oriented programming are the latest advancement in the field.
Chris@19 88 The internal operation of the codelet generator is described in the
Chris@19 89 paper, &ldquo;A Fast Fourier Transform Compiler,&rdquo; by M. Frigo, which is
Chris@19 90 available from the <a href="http://www.fftw.org">FFTW home page</a> and also
Chris@19 91 appeared in the <cite>Proceedings of the 1999 ACM SIGPLAN Conference on
Chris@19 92 Programming Language Design and Implementation (PLDI)</cite>.
