Chris@42 79 <h3 class="section">8.3 FFTW Execution in Fortran</h3>
Chris@42 80
Chris@42 81 <p>In C, in order to use a plan, one normally calls <code>fftw_execute</code>,
Chris@42 82 which executes the plan to perform the transform on the input/output
Chris@42 83 arrays passed when the plan was created (see <a href="Using-Plans.html#Using-Plans">Using Plans</a>). The
Chris@42 84 corresponding subroutine call in legacy Fortran is:
Chris@42 85 </p><div class="example">
Chris@42 86 <pre class="example"> call dfftw_execute(plan)
Chris@42 87 </pre></div>
Chris@42 88 <a name="index-dfftw_005fexecute"></a>
Chris@42 89
Chris@42 90 <p>However, we have had reports that this causes problems with some
Chris@42 91 recent optimizing Fortran compilers. The problem is, because the
Chris@42 92 input/output arrays are not passed as explicit arguments to
Chris@42 93 <code>dfftw_execute</code>, the semantics of Fortran (unlike C) allow the
Chris@42 94 compiler to assume that the input/output arrays are not changed by
Chris@42 95 <code>dfftw_execute</code>. As a consequence, certain compilers end up
Chris@42 96 optimizing out or repositioning the call to <code>dfftw_execute</code>,
Chris@42 97 assuming incorrectly that it does nothing.
Chris@42 98 </p>
Chris@42 99 <p>There are various workarounds to this, but the safest and simplest
Chris@42 100 thing is to not use <code>dfftw_execute</code> in Fortran. Instead, use the
Chris@42 101 functions described in <a href="New_002darray-Execute-Functions.html#New_002darray-Execute-Functions">New-array Execute Functions</a>, which take
Chris@42 102 the input/output arrays as explicit arguments. For example, if the
Chris@42 103 plan is for a complex-data DFT and was created for the arrays
Chris@42 104 <code>in</code> and <code>out</code>, you would do:
Chris@42 105 </p><div class="example">
Chris@42 106 <pre class="example"> call dfftw_execute_dft(plan, in, out)
Chris@42 107 </pre></div>
Chris@42 108 <a name="index-dfftw_005fexecute_005fdft"></a>
Chris@42 109
Chris@42 110 <p>There are a few things to be careful of, however:
Chris@42 111 </p>
Chris@42 112 <ul>
Chris@42 113 <li> You must use the correct type of execute function, matching the way
Chris@42 114 the plan was created. Complex DFT plans should use
Chris@42 115 <code>dfftw_execute_dft</code>, Real-input (r2c) DFT plans should use use
Chris@42 116 <code>dfftw_execute_dft_r2c</code>, and real-output (c2r) DFT plans should
Chris@42 117 use <code>dfftw_execute_dft_c2r</code>. The various r2r plans should use
Chris@42 118 <code>dfftw_execute_r2r</code>.
Chris@42 119
Chris@42 120 </li><li> You should normally pass the same input/output arrays that were used when
Chris@42 121 creating the plan. This is always safe.
Chris@42 122
Chris@42 123 </li><li> <em>If</em> you pass <em>different</em> input/output arrays compared to
Chris@42 124 those used when creating the plan, you must abide by all the
Chris@42 125 restrictions of the new-array execute functions (see <a href="New_002darray-Execute-Functions.html#New_002darray-Execute-Functions">New-array Execute Functions</a>). The most difficult of these, in Fortran, is the
Chris@42 126 requirement that the new arrays have the same alignment as the
Chris@42 127 original arrays, because there seems to be no way in legacy Fortran to obtain
Chris@42 128 guaranteed-aligned arrays (analogous to <code>fftw_malloc</code> in C). You
Chris@42 129 can, of course, use the <code>FFTW_UNALIGNED</code> flag when creating the
Chris@42 130 plan, in which case the plan does not depend on the alignment, but
Chris@42 131 this may sacrifice substantial performance on architectures (like x86)
Chris@42 132 with SIMD instructions (see <a href="SIMD-alignment-and-fftw_005fmalloc.html#SIMD-alignment-and-fftw_005fmalloc">SIMD alignment and fftw_malloc</a>).
