Chris@10 57
Chris@10 58 <p><a name="index-g_t64_002dbit-architecture-260"></a>
Chris@10 59 When compiled in 64-bit mode on a 64-bit architecture (where addresses
Chris@10 60 are 64 bits wide), FFTW uses 64-bit quantities internally for all
Chris@10 61 transform sizes, strides, and so on&mdash;you don't have to do anything
Chris@10 62 special to exploit this. However, in the ordinary FFTW interfaces,
Chris@10 63 you specify the transform size by an <code>int</code> quantity, which is
Chris@10 64 normally only 32 bits wide. This means that, even though FFTW is
Chris@10 65 using 64-bit sizes internally, you cannot specify a single transform
Chris@10 66 dimension larger than
Chris@10 67 2<sup><small>31</small></sup>&minus;1numbers.
Chris@10 68
Chris@10 69 <p>We expect that few users will require transforms larger than this, but,
Chris@10 70 for those who do, we provide a 64-bit version of the guru interface in
Chris@10 71 which all sizes are specified as integers of type <code>ptrdiff_t</code>
Chris@10 72 instead of <code>int</code>. (<code>ptrdiff_t</code> is a signed integer type
Chris@10 73 defined by the C standard to be wide enough to represent address
Chris@10 74 differences, and thus must be at least 64 bits wide on a 64-bit
Chris@10 75 machine.) We stress that there is <em>no performance advantage</em> to
Chris@10 76 using this interface&mdash;the same internal FFTW code is employed
Chris@10 77 regardless&mdash;and it is only necessary if you want to specify very
Chris@10 78 large transform sizes.
Chris@10 79 <a name="index-ptrdiff_005ft-261"></a>
Chris@10 80
Chris@10 81 <p>In particular, the 64-bit guru interface is a set of planner routines
Chris@10 82 that are exactly the same as the guru planner routines, except that
Chris@10 83 they are named with &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">guru64</span></samp>&rsquo; instead of &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">guru</span></samp>&rsquo; and they take
Chris@10 84 arguments of type <code>fftw_iodim64</code> instead of <code>fftw_iodim</code>.
Chris@10 85 For example, instead of <code>fftw_plan_guru_dft</code>, we have
Chris@10 86 <code>fftw_plan_guru64_dft</code>.
Chris@10 87
Chris@10 88 <pre class="example"> fftw_plan fftw_plan_guru64_dft(
Chris@10 89 int rank, const fftw_iodim64 *dims,
Chris@10 90 int howmany_rank, const fftw_iodim64 *howmany_dims,
Chris@10 91 fftw_complex *in, fftw_complex *out,
Chris@10 92 int sign, unsigned flags);
Chris@10 93 </pre>
Chris@10 94 <p><a name="index-fftw_005fplan_005fguru64_005fdft-262"></a>
Chris@10 95 The <code>fftw_iodim64</code> type is similar to <code>fftw_iodim</code>, with the
Chris@10 96 same interpretation, except that it uses type <code>ptrdiff_t</code> instead
Chris@10 97 of type <code>int</code>.
Chris@10 98
Chris@10 99 <pre class="example"> typedef struct {
Chris@10 100 ptrdiff_t n;
Chris@10 101 ptrdiff_t is;
Chris@10 102 ptrdiff_t os;
Chris@10 103 } fftw_iodim64;
Chris@10 104 </pre>
Chris@10 105 <p><a name="index-fftw_005fiodim64-263"></a>
Chris@10 106 Every other &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">fftw_plan_guru</span></samp>&rsquo; function also has a
Chris@10 107 &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">fftw_plan_guru64</span></samp>&rsquo; equivalent, but we do not repeat their
Chris@10 108 documentation here since they are identical to the 32-bit versions
Chris@10 109 except as noted above.
