Chris@42
|
27 .\" Add any additional description here
|
|
Chris@42
|
28 .I fftwf\-wisdom
|
|
Chris@42
|
29 is a utility to generate FFTW
|
|
Chris@42
|
30 .B wisdom
|
|
Chris@42
|
31 files, which contain saved information about how to optimally compute
|
|
Chris@42
|
32 (Fourier) transforms of various sizes. FFTW is a free library to
|
|
Chris@42
|
33 compute discrete Fourier transforms in one or more dimensions, for
|
|
Chris@42
|
34 arbitrary sizes, and of both real and complex data, among other
|
|
Chris@42
|
35 related operations. More information on FFTW can be found at the FFTW
|
|
Chris@42
|
36 home page:
|
|
Chris@42
|
37 .I http://www.fftw.org
|
|
Chris@42
|
38
|
|
Chris@42
|
39 Programs using FFTW can be written to load wisdom from an arbitrary file,
|
|
Chris@42
|
40 string, or other source. Moreover, it is likely that many FFTW-using
|
|
Chris@42
|
41 programs will load the \fBsystem wisdom\fR file, which is stored in
|
|
Chris@42
|
42 .I /etc/fftw/wisdomf
|
|
Chris@42
|
43 by default.
|
|
Chris@42
|
44 .I fftwf\-wisdom
|
|
Chris@42
|
45 can be used to create or add to such wisdom files. In its most
|
|
Chris@42
|
46 typical usage, the wisdom file can be created to pre-plan a canonical
|
|
Chris@42
|
47 set of sizes (see below) via:
|
|
Chris@42
|
48
|
|
Chris@42
|
49 .ce
|
|
Chris@42
|
50 fftwf\-wisdom \-v \-c \-o wisdomf
|
|
Chris@42
|
51
|
|
Chris@42
|
52 (this will take many hours, which can be limited by the
|
|
Chris@42
|
53 .B \-t
|
|
Chris@42
|
54 option) and the output
|
|
Chris@42
|
55 .I wisdomf
|
|
Chris@42
|
56 file can then be copied (as root) to
|
|
Chris@42
|
57 .I /etc/fftw/
|
|
Chris@42
|
58 or whatever.
|
|
Chris@42
|
59
|
|
Chris@42
|
60 The
|
|
Chris@42
|
61 .I fftwf\-wisdom
|
|
Chris@42
|
62 program normally writes the wisdom directly to standard output, but this
|
|
Chris@42
|
63 can be changed via the
|
|
Chris@42
|
64 .B \-o
|
|
Chris@42
|
65 option, as in the example above.
|
|
Chris@42
|
66
|
|
Chris@42
|
67 If the system wisdom file
|
|
Chris@42
|
68 .I /etc/fftw/wisdomf
|
|
Chris@42
|
69 already exists, then
|
|
Chris@42
|
70 .I fftwf\-wisdom
|
|
Chris@42
|
71 reads this existing wisdom (unless the
|
|
Chris@42
|
72 .B \-n
|
|
Chris@42
|
73 option is specified) and outputs both the old wisdom and any
|
|
Chris@42
|
74 newly created wisdom. In this way, it can be used to add new transform
|
|
Chris@42
|
75 sizes to the existing system wisdom (or other wisdom file, with the
|
|
Chris@42
|
76 .B \-w
|
|
Chris@42
|
77 option).
|
|
Chris@42
|
78 .SH SPECIFYING SIZES
|
|
Chris@42
|
79 Although a canonical set of sizes to optimize is specified by the
|
|
Chris@42
|
80 .B \-c
|
|
Chris@42
|
81 option, the user can also specify zero or more non-canonical transform
|
|
Chris@42
|
82 sizes and types to optimize, via the
|
|
Chris@42
|
83 .I SIZE
|
|
Chris@42
|
84 arguments following the option flags. Alternatively, the sizes to
|
|
Chris@42
|
85 optimize can be read from standard input (whitespace-separated), if a
|
|
Chris@42
|
86 .I SIZE
|
|
Chris@42
|
87 argument of "\-" is supplied.
|
|
Chris@42
|
88
|
|
Chris@42
|
89 Sizes are specified by the syntax:
|
|
Chris@42
|
90
|
|
Chris@42
|
91 .ce
|
|
Chris@42
|
92 <\fItype\fR><\fIinplace\fR><\fIdirection\fR><\fIgeometry\fR>
|
|
Chris@42
|
93
|
|
Chris@42
|
94 <\fItype\fR> is either \'c\' (complex), \'r\' (real, r2c/c2r), or
|
|
Chris@42
|
95 \'k\' (r2r, per-dimension kinds, specified in the geometry, below).
|
|
Chris@42
|
96
|
|
Chris@42
|
97 <\fIinplace\fR> is either \'i\' (in place) or \'o\' (out of place).
|
|
Chris@42
|
98
|
|
Chris@42
|
99 <\fIdirection\fR> is either \'f\' (forward) or \'b\' (backward). The
|
|
Chris@42
|
100 <\fIdirection\fR> should be omitted for \'k\' transforms, where it is
|
|
Chris@42
|
101 specified via the geometry instead.
|
|
Chris@42
|
102
|
|
Chris@42
|
103 <\fIgeometry\fR> is the size and dimensionality of the transform,
|
|
Chris@42
|
104 where different dimensions are separated by \'x\' (e.g. \'16x32\' for
|
|
Chris@42
|
105 a two-dimensional 16 by 32 transform). In the case of \'k\'
|
|
Chris@42
|
106 transforms, the size of each dimension is followed by a "type" string,
|
|
Chris@42
|
107 which can be one of f/b/h/e00/e01/e10/e11/o00/o01/o10/o11 for
|
|
Chris@42
|
108 R2HC/HC2R/DHT/REDFT00/.../RODFT11, respectively, as defined in the
|
|
Chris@42
|
109 FFTW manual.
|
|
Chris@42
|
110
|
|
Chris@42
|
111 For example, \'cif12x13x14\' is a three-dimensional 12 by 13 x 14
|
|
Chris@42
|
112 complex DFT operating in-place. \'rob65536\' is a one-dimensional
|
|
Chris@42
|
113 size-65536 out-of-place complex-to-real (backwards) transform
|
|
Chris@42
|
114 operating on Hermitian-symmetry input. \'ki10hx20e01\' is a
|
|
Chris@42
|
115 two-dimensional 10 by 20 r2r transform where the first dimension is a
|
|
Chris@42
|
116 DHT and the second dimension is an REDFT01 (DCT-III).

153 Normally,

Chris@42
|
154 .I fftwf\-wisdom
|

Chris@42

155 creates plans in FFTW_PATIENT mode, but with these options you can instead

Chris@42

156 use FFTW_MEASURE, FFTW_ESTIMATE, or FFTW_EXHAUSTIVE modes, respectively,

Chris@42
|
157 as described in more detail by the FFTW manual.
|
|
Chris@42

158
|
|
Chris@42
|
159 Note that wisdom is tagged with the planning patience level, and a

Chris@42

160 single file can mix different levels of wisdom (e.g. you can mostly

Chris@42

161 use the patient default, but plan a few sizes that you especially care
