58 The directory <code>genfft</code> contains the programs that were used to
|
Chris@10
|
59 generate FFTW's “codelets,” which are hard-coded transforms of small
|
Chris@10
|
60 sizes.
|
Chris@10
|
61 <a name="index-codelet-623"></a>We do not expect casual users to employ the generator, which is a rather
|
Chris@10
|
62 sophisticated program that generates directed acyclic graphs of FFT
|
Chris@10
|
63 algorithms and performs algebraic simplifications on them. It was
|
Chris@10
|
64 written in Objective Caml, a dialect of ML, which is available at
|
Chris@10
|
65 <a href="http://caml.inria.fr/ocaml/index.en.html">http://caml.inria.fr/ocaml/index.en.html</a>.
|
Chris@10
|
66 <a name="index-Caml-624"></a>
|
Chris@10
|
67
|
Chris@10
|
68 <p>If you have Objective Caml installed (along with recent versions of
|
Chris@10
|
69 GNU <code>autoconf</code>, <code>automake</code>, and <code>libtool</code>), then you
|
Chris@10
|
70 can change the set of codelets that are generated or play with the
|
Chris@10
|
71 generation options. The set of generated codelets is specified by the
|
Chris@10
|
72 <code>{dft,rdft}/{codelets,simd}/*/Makefile.am</code> files. For example, you can add
|
Chris@10
|
73 efficient REDFT codelets of small sizes by modifying
|
Chris@10
|
74 <code>rdft/codelets/r2r/Makefile.am</code>.
|
Chris@10
|
75 <a name="index-REDFT-625"></a>After you modify any <code>Makefile.am</code> files, you can type <code>sh
|
Chris@10
|
76 bootstrap.sh</code> in the top-level directory followed by <code>make</code> to
|
Chris@10
|
77 re-generate the files.
|
Chris@10
|
78
|
Chris@10
|
79 <p>We do not provide more details about the code-generation process, since
|
Chris@10
|
80 we do not expect that most users will need to generate their own code.
|
Chris@10
|
81 However, feel free to contact us at <a href="mailto:fftw@fftw.org">fftw@fftw.org</a> if
|
Chris@10
|
82 you are interested in the subject.
|
Chris@10
|
83
|
Chris@10
|
84 <p><a name="index-monadic-programming-626"></a>You might find it interesting to learn Caml and/or some modern
|
Chris@10
|
85 programming techniques that we used in the generator (including monadic
|
Chris@10
|
86 programming), especially if you heard the rumor that Java and
|
Chris@10
|
87 object-oriented programming are the latest advancement in the field.
|
Chris@10
|
88 The internal operation of the codelet generator is described in the
|
Chris@10
|
89 paper, “A Fast Fourier Transform Compiler,” by M. Frigo, which is
|
Chris@10
|
90 available from the <a href="http://www.fftw.org">FFTW home page</a> and also
|
Chris@10
|
91 appeared in the <cite>Proceedings of the 1999 ACM SIGPLAN Conference on
|
Chris@10
|
92 Programming Language Design and Implementation (PLDI)</cite>.
