Chris@10 57 <h3 class="section">7.1 Overview of Fortran interface</h3>
Chris@10 58
Chris@10 59 <p>FFTW provides a file <code>fftw3.f03</code> that defines Fortran 2003
Chris@10 60 interfaces for all of its C routines, except for the MPI routines
Chris@10 61 described elsewhere, which can be found in the same directory as
Chris@10 62 <code>fftw3.h</code> (the C header file). In any Fortran subroutine where
Chris@10 63 you want to use FFTW functions, you should begin with:
Chris@10 64
Chris@10 65 <p><a name="index-iso_005fc_005fbinding-502"></a>
Chris@10 66 <pre class="example"> use, intrinsic :: iso_c_binding
Chris@10 67 include 'fftw3.f03'
Chris@10 68 </pre>
Chris@10 69 <p>This includes the interface definitions and the standard
Chris@10 70 <code>iso_c_binding</code> module (which defines the equivalents of C
Chris@10 71 types). You can also put the FFTW functions into a module if you
Chris@10 72 prefer (see <a href="Defining-an-FFTW-module.html#Defining-an-FFTW-module">Defining an FFTW module</a>).
Chris@10 73
Chris@10 74 <p>At this point, you can now call anything in the FFTW C interface
Chris@10 75 directly, almost exactly as in C other than minor changes in syntax.
Chris@10 76 For example:
Chris@10 77
Chris@10 78 <p><a name="index-fftw_005fplan_005fdft_005f2d-503"></a><a name="index-fftw_005fexecute_005fdft-504"></a><a name="index-fftw_005fdestroy_005fplan-505"></a>
Chris@10 79 <pre class="example"> type(C_PTR) :: plan
Chris@10 80 complex(C_DOUBLE_COMPLEX), dimension(1024,1000) :: in, out
Chris@10 81 plan = fftw_plan_dft_2d(1000,1024, in,out, FFTW_FORWARD,FFTW_ESTIMATE)
Chris@10 82 ...
Chris@10 83 call fftw_execute_dft(plan, in, out)
Chris@10 84 ...
Chris@10 85 call fftw_destroy_plan(plan)
Chris@10 86 </pre>
Chris@10 87 <p>A few important things to keep in mind are:
Chris@10 88
Chris@10 89 <ul>
Chris@10 90 <li><a name="index-fftw_005fcomplex-506"></a><a name="index-C_005fPTR-507"></a><a name="index-C_005fINT-508"></a><a name="index-C_005fDOUBLE-509"></a><a name="index-C_005fDOUBLE_005fCOMPLEX-510"></a>FFTW plans are <code>type(C_PTR)</code>. Other C types are mapped in the
Chris@10 91 obvious way via the <code>iso_c_binding</code> standard: <code>int</code> turns
Chris@10 92 into <code>integer(C_INT)</code>, <code>fftw_complex</code> turns into
Chris@10 93 <code>complex(C_DOUBLE_COMPLEX)</code>, <code>double</code> turns into
Chris@10 94 <code>real(C_DOUBLE)</code>, and so on. See <a href="FFTW-Fortran-type-reference.html#FFTW-Fortran-type-reference">FFTW Fortran type reference</a>.
Chris@10 95
Chris@10 96 <li>Functions in C become functions in Fortran if they have a return value,
Chris@10 97 and subroutines in Fortran otherwise.
Chris@10 98
Chris@10 99 <li>The ordering of the Fortran array dimensions must be <em>reversed</em>
Chris@10 100 when they are passed to the FFTW plan creation, thanks to differences
Chris@10 101 in array indexing conventions (see <a href="Multi_002ddimensional-Array-Format.html#Multi_002ddimensional-Array-Format">Multi-dimensional Array Format</a>). This is <em>unlike</em> the legacy Fortran interface
Chris@10 102 (see <a href="Fortran_002dinterface-routines.html#Fortran_002dinterface-routines">Fortran-interface routines</a>), which reversed the dimensions
Chris@10 103 for you. See <a href="Reversing-array-dimensions.html#Reversing-array-dimensions">Reversing array dimensions</a>.
Chris@10 104
Chris@10 105 <li><a name="index-alignment-511"></a><a name="index-SIMD-512"></a>Using ordinary Fortran array declarations like this works, but may
Chris@10 106 yield suboptimal performance because the data may not be not aligned
Chris@10 107 to exploit SIMD instructions on modern proessors (see <a href="SIMD-alignment-and-fftw_005fmalloc.html#SIMD-alignment-and-fftw_005fmalloc">SIMD alignment and fftw_malloc</a>). Better performance will often be obtained
Chris@10 108 by allocating with &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">fftw_alloc</span></samp>&rsquo;. See <a href="Allocating-aligned-memory-in-Fortran.html#Allocating-aligned-memory-in-Fortran">Allocating aligned memory in Fortran</a>.
Chris@10 109
Chris@10 110 <li><a name="index-fftw_005fexecute-513"></a>Similar to the legacy Fortran interface (see <a href="FFTW-Execution-in-Fortran.html#FFTW-Execution-in-Fortran">FFTW Execution in Fortran</a>), we currently recommend <em>not</em> using <code>fftw_execute</code>
Chris@10 111 but rather using the more specialized functions like
Chris@10 112 <code>fftw_execute_dft</code> (see <a href="New_002darray-Execute-Functions.html#New_002darray-Execute-Functions">New-array Execute Functions</a>).
Chris@10 113 However, you should execute the plan on the <code>same arrays</code> as the
Chris@10 114 ones for which you created the plan, unless you are especially
Chris@10 115 careful. See <a href="Plan-execution-in-Fortran.html#Plan-execution-in-Fortran">Plan execution in Fortran</a>. To prevent
Chris@10 116 you from using <code>fftw_execute</code> by mistake, the <code>fftw3.f03</code>
Chris@10 117 file does not provide an <code>fftw_execute</code> interface declaration.
Chris@10 118
Chris@10 119 <li><a name="index-flags-514"></a>Multiple planner flags are combined with <code>ior</code> (equivalent to &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">|</span></samp>&rsquo; in C). e.g. <code>FFTW_MEASURE | FFTW_DESTROY_INPUT</code> becomes <code>ior(FFTW_MEASURE, FFTW_DESTROY_INPUT)</code>. (You can also use &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">+</span></samp>&rsquo; as long as you don't try to include a given flag more than once.)
