Chris@42 80 <a name="index-installation"></a>
Chris@42 81
Chris@42 82 <p>This chapter describes the installation and customization of FFTW, the
Chris@42 83 latest version of which may be downloaded from
Chris@42 84 <a href="http://www.fftw.org">the FFTW home page</a>.
Chris@42 85 </p>
Chris@42 86 <p>In principle, FFTW should work on any system with an ANSI C compiler
Chris@42 87 (<code>gcc</code> is fine). However, planner time is drastically reduced if
Chris@42 88 FFTW can exploit a hardware cycle counter; FFTW comes with cycle-counter
Chris@42 89 support for all modern general-purpose CPUs, but you may need to add a
Chris@42 90 couple of lines of code if your compiler is not yet supported
Chris@42 91 (see <a href="Cycle-Counters.html#Cycle-Counters">Cycle Counters</a>). (On Unix, there will be a warning at the end
Chris@42 92 of the <code>configure</code> output if no cycle counter is found.)

Chris@42 95 <a name="index-portability-9"></a>
Chris@42 96 </p>
Chris@42 97
Chris@42 98 <p>Installation of FFTW is simplest if you have a Unix or a GNU system,
Chris@42 99 such as GNU/Linux, and we describe this case in the first section below,
Chris@42 100 including the use of special configuration options to e.g. install
Chris@42 101 different precisions or exploit optimizations for particular
Chris@42 102 architectures (e.g. SIMD). Compilation on non-Unix systems is a more
Chris@42 103 manual process, but we outline the procedure in the second section. It
Chris@42 104 is also likely that pre-compiled binaries will be available for popular
Chris@42 105 systems.
Chris@42 106 </p>
Chris@42 107 <p>Finally, we describe how you can customize FFTW for particular needs by
Chris@42 108 generating <em>codelets</em> for fast transforms of sizes not supported
Chris@42 109 efficiently by the standard FFTW distribution.
