Replace these with versions built using an older toolset (so as to avoid ABI compatibilities when linking on Ubuntu 14.04 for packaging purposes)

Chris@82 80 <p>All of the FFTW threads code is located in the <code>threads</code>
Chris@82 81 subdirectory of the FFTW package. On Unix systems, the FFTW threads
Chris@82 82 libraries and header files can be automatically configured, compiled,
Chris@82 83 and installed along with the uniprocessor FFTW libraries simply by
Chris@82 84 including <code>--enable-threads</code> in the flags to the <code>configure</code>
Chris@82 85 script (see <a href="Installation-on-Unix.html#Installation-on-Unix">Installation on Unix</a>), or <code>--enable-openmp</code> to use
Chris@82 86 <a href="http://www.openmp.org">OpenMP</a> threads.
Chris@82 87 <a name="index-configure"></a>

Chris@82 90 <a name="index-portability-3"></a>
Chris@82 91 <a name="index-OpenMP"></a>
Chris@82 92 <p>The threads routines require your operating system to have some sort
Chris@82 93 of shared-memory threads support. Specifically, the FFTW threads
Chris@82 94 package works with POSIX threads (available on most Unix variants,
Chris@82 95 from GNU/Linux to MacOS X) and Win32 threads. OpenMP threads, which
Chris@82 96 are supported in many common compilers (e.g. gcc) are also supported,
Chris@82 97 and may give better performance on some systems. (OpenMP threads are
Chris@82 98 also useful if you are employing OpenMP in your own code, in order to
Chris@82 99 minimize conflicts between threading models.) If you have a
Chris@82 100 shared-memory machine that uses a different threads API, it should be
Chris@82 101 a simple matter of programming to include support for it; see the file
Chris@82 102 <code>threads/threads.c</code> for more detail.
Chris@82 103 </p>
Chris@82 104 <p>You can compile FFTW with <em>both</em> <code>--enable-threads</code> and
Chris@82 105 <code>--enable-openmp</code> at the same time, since they install libraries
Chris@82 106 with different names (&lsquo;<samp>fftw3_threads</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>fftw3_omp</samp>&rsquo;, as
Chris@82 107 described below). However, your programs may only link to <em>one</em>
Chris@82 108 of these two libraries at a time.
Chris@82 109 </p>
Chris@82 110 <p>Ideally, of course, you should also have multiple processors in order to
Chris@82 111 get any benefit from the threaded transforms.
