cannam@95 56
cannam@95 57 <p>FFTW includes two standalone utility programs that deal with wisdom. We
cannam@95 58 merely summarize them here, since they come with their own <code>man</code>
cannam@95 59 pages for Unix and GNU systems (with HTML versions on our web site).
cannam@95 60
cannam@95 61 <p>The first program is <code>fftw-wisdom</code> (or <code>fftwf-wisdom</code> in
cannam@95 62 single precision, etcetera), which can be used to create a wisdom file
cannam@95 63 containing plans for any of the transform sizes and types supported by
cannam@95 64 FFTW. It is preferable to create wisdom directly from your executable
cannam@95 65 (see <a href="Caveats-in-Using-Wisdom.html#Caveats-in-Using-Wisdom">Caveats in Using Wisdom</a>), but this program is useful for
cannam@95 66 creating global wisdom files for <code>fftw_import_system_wisdom</code>.
cannam@95 67 <a name="index-fftw_002dwisdom-utility-289"></a>
cannam@95 68
cannam@95 69 <p>The second program is <code>fftw-wisdom-to-conf</code>, which takes a wisdom
cannam@95 70 file as input and produces a <dfn>configuration routine</dfn> as output. The
cannam@95 71 latter is a C subroutine that you can compile and link into your
cannam@95 72 program, replacing a routine of the same name in the FFTW library, that
cannam@95 73 determines which parts of FFTW are callable by your program.
cannam@95 74 <code>fftw-wisdom-to-conf</code> produces a configuration routine that links
cannam@95 75 to only those parts of FFTW needed by the saved plans in the wisdom,
cannam@95 76 greatly reducing the size of statically linked executables (which should
cannam@95 77 only attempt to create plans corresponding to those in the wisdom,
cannam@95 78 however).
