Chris@42 79 <h4 class="subsection">4.3.4 Real-data DFT Array Format</h4>
Chris@42 80 <a name="index-r2c_002fc2r-multi_002ddimensional-array-format-1"></a>
Chris@42 81
Chris@42 82 <p>The output of a DFT of real data (r2c) contains symmetries that, in
Chris@42 83 principle, make half of the outputs redundant (see <a href="What-FFTW-Really-Computes.html#What-FFTW-Really-Computes">What FFTW Really Computes</a>). (Similarly for the input of an inverse c2r transform.) In
Chris@42 84 practice, it is not possible to entirely realize these savings in an
Chris@42 85 efficient and understandable format that generalizes to
Chris@42 86 multi-dimensional transforms. Instead, the output of the r2c
Chris@42 87 transforms is <em>slightly</em> over half of the output of the
Chris@42 88 corresponding complex transform. We do not &ldquo;pack&rdquo; the data in any
Chris@42 89 way, but store it as an ordinary array of <code>fftw_complex</code> values.
Chris@42 90 In fact, this data is simply a subsection of what would be the array in
Chris@42 91 the corresponding complex transform.
Chris@42 92 </p>
Chris@42 93 <p>Specifically, for a real transform of <em>d</em> (= <code>rank</code>)
Chris@42 94 dimensions n<sub>0</sub>&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;n<sub>1</sub>&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;n<sub>2</sub>&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;&hellip;&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;n<sub>d-1</sub>, the complex data is an n<sub>0</sub>&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;n<sub>1</sub>&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;n<sub>2</sub>&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;&hellip;&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;(n<sub>d-1</sub>/2 + 1) array of
Chris@42 95 <code>fftw_complex</code> values in row-major order (with the division rounded
Chris@42 96 down). That is, we only store the <em>lower</em> half (non-negative
Chris@42 97 frequencies), plus one element, of the last dimension of the data from
Chris@42 98 the ordinary complex transform. (We could have instead taken half of
Chris@42 99 any other dimension, but implementation turns out to be simpler if the
Chris@42 100 last, contiguous, dimension is used.)
Chris@42 101 </p>
Chris@42 102 <a name="index-out_002dof_002dplace-1"></a>
Chris@42 103 <p>For an out-of-place transform, the real data is simply an array with
Chris@42 104 physical dimensions n<sub>0</sub>&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;n<sub>1</sub>&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;n<sub>2</sub>&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;&hellip;&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;n<sub>d-1</sub> in row-major order.
Chris@42 105 </p>
Chris@42 106 <a name="index-in_002dplace-4"></a>
Chris@42 107 <a name="index-padding-3"></a>
Chris@42 108 <p>For an in-place transform, some complications arise since the complex data
Chris@42 109 is slightly larger than the real data. In this case, the final
Chris@42 110 dimension of the real data must be <em>padded</em> with extra values to
Chris@42 111 accommodate the size of the complex data&mdash;two extra if the last
Chris@42 112 dimension is even and one if it is odd. That is, the last dimension of
Chris@42 113 the real data must physically contain
Chris@42 114 2 * (n<sub>d-1</sub>/2+1)<code>double</code> values (exactly enough to hold the complex data). This
Chris@42 115 physical array size does not, however, change the <em>logical</em> array
Chris@42 116 size&mdash;only
Chris@42 117 n<sub>d-1</sub>values are actually stored in the last dimension, and
Chris@42 118 n<sub>d-1</sub>is the last dimension passed to the planner.
