|
cannam@95
|
58
|
cannam@95
|
59 <p>In C, in order to use a plan, one normally calls <code>fftw_execute</code>,
|
cannam@95
|
60 which executes the plan to perform the transform on the input/output
|
cannam@95
|
61 arrays passed when the plan was created (see <a href="Using-Plans.html#Using-Plans">Using Plans</a>). The
|
cannam@95
|
62 corresponding subroutine call in legacy Fortran is:
|
cannam@95
|
63 <pre class="example"> call dfftw_execute(plan)
|
cannam@95
|
64 </pre>
|
cannam@95
|
65 <p><a name="index-dfftw_005fexecute-584"></a>
|
cannam@95
|
66 However, we have had reports that this causes problems with some
|
cannam@95
|
67 recent optimizing Fortran compilers. The problem is, because the
|
cannam@95
|
68 input/output arrays are not passed as explicit arguments to
|
cannam@95
|
69 <code>dfftw_execute</code>, the semantics of Fortran (unlike C) allow the
|
cannam@95
|
70 compiler to assume that the input/output arrays are not changed by
|
cannam@95
|
71 <code>dfftw_execute</code>. As a consequence, certain compilers end up
|
cannam@95
|
72 optimizing out or repositioning the call to <code>dfftw_execute</code>,
|
cannam@95
|
73 assuming incorrectly that it does nothing.
|
cannam@95
|
74
|
cannam@95
|
75 <p>There are various workarounds to this, but the safest and simplest
|
cannam@95
|
76 thing is to not use <code>dfftw_execute</code> in Fortran. Instead, use the
|
cannam@95
|
77 functions described in <a href="New_002darray-Execute-Functions.html#New_002darray-Execute-Functions">New-array Execute Functions</a>, which take
|
cannam@95
|
78 the input/output arrays as explicit arguments. For example, if the
|
cannam@95
|
79 plan is for a complex-data DFT and was created for the arrays
|
cannam@95
|
80 <code>in</code> and <code>out</code>, you would do:
|
cannam@95
|
81 <pre class="example"> call dfftw_execute_dft(plan, in, out)
|
cannam@95
|
82 </pre>
|
cannam@95
|
83 <p><a name="index-dfftw_005fexecute_005fdft-585"></a>
|
cannam@95
|
84 There are a few things to be careful of, however:
|
cannam@95
|
85
|
cannam@95
|
86 <ul>
|
cannam@95
|
87 <li>You must use the correct type of execute function, matching the way
|
cannam@95
|
88 the plan was created. Complex DFT plans should use
|
cannam@95
|
89 <code>dfftw_execute_dft</code>, Real-input (r2c) DFT plans should use use
|
cannam@95
|
90 <code>dfftw_execute_dft_r2c</code>, and real-output (c2r) DFT plans should
|
cannam@95
|
91 use <code>dfftw_execute_dft_c2r</code>. The various r2r plans should use
|
cannam@95
|
92 <code>dfftw_execute_r2r</code>.
|
cannam@95
|
93
|
cannam@95
|
94 <li>You should normally pass the same input/output arrays that were used when
|
cannam@95
|
95 creating the plan. This is always safe.
|
cannam@95
|
96
|
cannam@95
|
97 <li><em>If</em> you pass <em>different</em> input/output arrays compared to
|
cannam@95
|
98 those used when creating the plan, you must abide by all the
|
cannam@95
|
99 restrictions of the new-array execute functions (see <a href="New_002darray-Execute-Functions.html#New_002darray-Execute-Functions">New-array Execute Functions</a>). The most difficult of these, in Fortran, is the
|
cannam@95
|
100 requirement that the new arrays have the same alignment as the
|
cannam@95
|
101 original arrays, because there seems to be no way in legacy Fortran to obtain
|
cannam@95
|
102 guaranteed-aligned arrays (analogous to <code>fftw_malloc</code> in C). You
|
cannam@95
|
103 can, of course, use the <code>FFTW_UNALIGNED</code> flag when creating the
|
cannam@95
|
104 plan, in which case the plan does not depend on the alignment, but
|
cannam@95
|
105 this may sacrifice substantial performance on architectures (like x86)
|
cannam@95
|
106 with SIMD instructions (see <a href="SIMD-alignment-and-fftw_005fmalloc.html#SIMD-alignment-and-fftw_005fmalloc">SIMD alignment and fftw_malloc</a>).
