Chris@42 80 <a name="index-64_002dbit-architecture"></a>
Chris@42 81
Chris@42 82 <p>When compiled in 64-bit mode on a 64-bit architecture (where addresses
Chris@42 83 are 64 bits wide), FFTW uses 64-bit quantities internally for all
Chris@42 84 transform sizes, strides, and so on&mdash;you don&rsquo;t have to do anything
Chris@42 85 special to exploit this. However, in the ordinary FFTW interfaces,
Chris@42 86 you specify the transform size by an <code>int</code> quantity, which is
Chris@42 87 normally only 32 bits wide. This means that, even though FFTW is
Chris@42 88 using 64-bit sizes internally, you cannot specify a single transform
Chris@42 89 dimension larger than
Chris@42 90 2<sup><small>31</small></sup>&minus;1numbers.
Chris@42 91 </p>
Chris@42 92 <p>We expect that few users will require transforms larger than this, but,
Chris@42 93 for those who do, we provide a 64-bit version of the guru interface in
Chris@42 94 which all sizes are specified as integers of type <code>ptrdiff_t</code>
Chris@42 95 instead of <code>int</code>. (<code>ptrdiff_t</code> is a signed integer type
Chris@42 96 defined by the C standard to be wide enough to represent address
Chris@42 97 differences, and thus must be at least 64 bits wide on a 64-bit
Chris@42 98 machine.) We stress that there is <em>no performance advantage</em> to
Chris@42 99 using this interface&mdash;the same internal FFTW code is employed
Chris@42 100 regardless&mdash;and it is only necessary if you want to specify very
Chris@42 101 large transform sizes.
Chris@42 102 <a name="index-ptrdiff_005ft"></a>
Chris@42 103 </p>
Chris@42 104
Chris@42 105 <p>In particular, the 64-bit guru interface is a set of planner routines
Chris@42 106 that are exactly the same as the guru planner routines, except that
Chris@42 107 they are named with &lsquo;<samp>guru64</samp>&rsquo; instead of &lsquo;<samp>guru</samp>&rsquo; and they take
Chris@42 108 arguments of type <code>fftw_iodim64</code> instead of <code>fftw_iodim</code>.
Chris@42 109 For example, instead of <code>fftw_plan_guru_dft</code>, we have
Chris@42 110 <code>fftw_plan_guru64_dft</code>.
Chris@42 111 </p>
Chris@42 112 <div class="example">
Chris@42 113 <pre class="example">fftw_plan fftw_plan_guru64_dft(
Chris@42 114 int rank, const fftw_iodim64 *dims,
Chris@42 115 int howmany_rank, const fftw_iodim64 *howmany_dims,
Chris@42 116 fftw_complex *in, fftw_complex *out,
Chris@42 117 int sign, unsigned flags);
Chris@42 118 </pre></div>
Chris@42 119 <a name="index-fftw_005fplan_005fguru64_005fdft"></a>
Chris@42 120
Chris@42 121 <p>The <code>fftw_iodim64</code> type is similar to <code>fftw_iodim</code>, with the
Chris@42 122 same interpretation, except that it uses type <code>ptrdiff_t</code> instead
Chris@42 123 of type <code>int</code>.
Chris@42 124 </p>
Chris@42 125 <div class="example">
Chris@42 126 <pre class="example">typedef struct {
Chris@42 127 ptrdiff_t n;
Chris@42 128 ptrdiff_t is;
Chris@42 129 ptrdiff_t os;
Chris@42 130 } fftw_iodim64;
Chris@42 131 </pre></div>
Chris@42 132 <a name="index-fftw_005fiodim64"></a>
Chris@42 133
Chris@42 134 <p>Every other &lsquo;<samp>fftw_plan_guru</samp>&rsquo; function also has a
Chris@42 135 &lsquo;<samp>fftw_plan_guru64</samp>&rsquo; equivalent, but we do not repeat their
Chris@42 136 documentation here since they are identical to the 32-bit versions
Chris@42 137 except as noted above.
