cannam@167 78 <h3 class="section">8.3 FFTW Execution in Fortran</h3>
cannam@167 79
cannam@167 80 <p>In C, in order to use a plan, one normally calls <code>fftw_execute</code>,
cannam@167 81 which executes the plan to perform the transform on the input/output
cannam@167 82 arrays passed when the plan was created (see <a href="Using-Plans.html#Using-Plans">Using Plans</a>). The
cannam@167 83 corresponding subroutine call in legacy Fortran is:
cannam@167 84 </p><div class="example">
cannam@167 85 <pre class="example"> call dfftw_execute(plan)
cannam@167 86 </pre></div>
cannam@167 87 <a name="index-dfftw_005fexecute"></a>
cannam@167 88
cannam@167 89 <p>However, we have had reports that this causes problems with some
cannam@167 90 recent optimizing Fortran compilers. The problem is, because the
cannam@167 91 input/output arrays are not passed as explicit arguments to
cannam@167 92 <code>dfftw_execute</code>, the semantics of Fortran (unlike C) allow the
cannam@167 93 compiler to assume that the input/output arrays are not changed by
cannam@167 94 <code>dfftw_execute</code>. As a consequence, certain compilers end up
cannam@167 95 optimizing out or repositioning the call to <code>dfftw_execute</code>,
cannam@167 96 assuming incorrectly that it does nothing.
cannam@167 97 </p>
cannam@167 98 <p>There are various workarounds to this, but the safest and simplest
cannam@167 99 thing is to not use <code>dfftw_execute</code> in Fortran. Instead, use the
cannam@167 100 functions described in <a href="New_002darray-Execute-Functions.html#New_002darray-Execute-Functions">New-array Execute Functions</a>, which take
cannam@167 101 the input/output arrays as explicit arguments. For example, if the
cannam@167 102 plan is for a complex-data DFT and was created for the arrays
cannam@167 103 <code>in</code> and <code>out</code>, you would do:
cannam@167 104 </p><div class="example">
cannam@167 105 <pre class="example"> call dfftw_execute_dft(plan, in, out)
cannam@167 106 </pre></div>
cannam@167 107 <a name="index-dfftw_005fexecute_005fdft"></a>
cannam@167 108
cannam@167 109 <p>There are a few things to be careful of, however:
cannam@167 110 </p>
cannam@167 111 <ul>
cannam@167 112 <li> You must use the correct type of execute function, matching the way
cannam@167 113 the plan was created. Complex DFT plans should use
cannam@167 114 <code>dfftw_execute_dft</code>, Real-input (r2c) DFT plans should use use
cannam@167 115 <code>dfftw_execute_dft_r2c</code>, and real-output (c2r) DFT plans should
cannam@167 116 use <code>dfftw_execute_dft_c2r</code>. The various r2r plans should use
cannam@167 117 <code>dfftw_execute_r2r</code>.
cannam@167 118
cannam@167 119 </li><li> You should normally pass the same input/output arrays that were used when
cannam@167 120 creating the plan. This is always safe.
cannam@167 121
cannam@167 122 </li><li> <em>If</em> you pass <em>different</em> input/output arrays compared to
cannam@167 123 those used when creating the plan, you must abide by all the
cannam@167 124 restrictions of the new-array execute functions (see <a href="New_002darray-Execute-Functions.html#New_002darray-Execute-Functions">New-array Execute Functions</a>). The most difficult of these, in Fortran, is the
cannam@167 125 requirement that the new arrays have the same alignment as the
cannam@167 126 original arrays, because there seems to be no way in legacy Fortran to obtain
cannam@167 127 guaranteed-aligned arrays (analogous to <code>fftw_malloc</code> in C). You
cannam@167 128 can, of course, use the <code>FFTW_UNALIGNED</code> flag when creating the
cannam@167 129 plan, in which case the plan does not depend on the alignment, but
cannam@167 130 this may sacrifice substantial performance on architectures (like x86)
cannam@167 131 with SIMD instructions (see <a href="SIMD-alignment-and-fftw_005fmalloc.html#SIMD-alignment-and-fftw_005fmalloc">SIMD alignment and fftw_malloc</a>).
