Chris@10 56
Chris@10 57 <p><a name="index-code-generator-622"></a>
Chris@10 58 The directory <code>genfft</code> contains the programs that were used to
Chris@10 59 generate FFTW's &ldquo;codelets,&rdquo; 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, &ldquo;A Fast Fourier Transform Compiler,&rdquo; 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>.
