cannam@95 56
cannam@95 57 <p><a name="index-code-generator-622"></a>
cannam@95 58 The directory <code>genfft</code> contains the programs that were used to
cannam@95 59 generate FFTW's &ldquo;codelets,&rdquo; which are hard-coded transforms of small
cannam@95 60 sizes.
cannam@95 61 <a name="index-codelet-623"></a>We do not expect casual users to employ the generator, which is a rather
cannam@95 62 sophisticated program that generates directed acyclic graphs of FFT
cannam@95 63 algorithms and performs algebraic simplifications on them. It was
cannam@95 64 written in Objective Caml, a dialect of ML, which is available at
cannam@95 65 <a href="http://caml.inria.fr/ocaml/index.en.html">http://caml.inria.fr/ocaml/index.en.html</a>.
cannam@95 66 <a name="index-Caml-624"></a>
cannam@95 67
cannam@95 68 <p>If you have Objective Caml installed (along with recent versions of
cannam@95 69 GNU <code>autoconf</code>, <code>automake</code>, and <code>libtool</code>), then you
cannam@95 70 can change the set of codelets that are generated or play with the
cannam@95 71 generation options. The set of generated codelets is specified by the
cannam@95 72 <code>{dft,rdft}/{codelets,simd}/*/Makefile.am</code> files. For example, you can add
cannam@95 73 efficient REDFT codelets of small sizes by modifying
cannam@95 74 <code>rdft/codelets/r2r/Makefile.am</code>.
cannam@95 75 <a name="index-REDFT-625"></a>After you modify any <code>Makefile.am</code> files, you can type <code>sh
cannam@95 76 bootstrap.sh</code> in the top-level directory followed by <code>make</code> to
cannam@95 77 re-generate the files.
cannam@95 78
cannam@95 79 <p>We do not provide more details about the code-generation process, since
cannam@95 80 we do not expect that most users will need to generate their own code.
cannam@95 81 However, feel free to contact us at <a href="mailto:fftw@fftw.org">fftw@fftw.org</a> if
cannam@95 82 you are interested in the subject.
cannam@95 83
cannam@95 84 <p><a name="index-monadic-programming-626"></a>You might find it interesting to learn Caml and/or some modern
cannam@95 85 programming techniques that we used in the generator (including monadic
cannam@95 86 programming), especially if you heard the rumor that Java and
cannam@95 87 object-oriented programming are the latest advancement in the field.
cannam@95 88 The internal operation of the codelet generator is described in the
cannam@95 89 paper, &ldquo;A Fast Fourier Transform Compiler,&rdquo; by M. Frigo, which is
cannam@95 90 available from the <a href="http://www.fftw.org">FFTW home page</a> and also
cannam@95 91 appeared in the <cite>Proceedings of the 1999 ACM SIGPLAN Conference on
cannam@95 92 Programming Language Design and Implementation (PLDI)</cite>.
