|
|
Chris@82
|
81 <p>In this chapter we document the parallel FFTW routines for
|
|
Chris@82
|
82 shared-memory parallel hardware. These routines, which support
|
|
Chris@82
|
83 parallel one- and multi-dimensional transforms of both real and
|
|
Chris@82
|
84 complex data, are the easiest way to take advantage of multiple
|
|
Chris@82
|
85 processors with FFTW. They work just like the corresponding
|
|
Chris@82
|
86 uniprocessor transform routines, except that you have an extra
|
|
Chris@82
|
87 initialization routine to call, and there is a routine to set the
|
|
Chris@82
|
88 number of threads to employ. Any program that uses the uniprocessor
|
|
Chris@82
|
89 FFTW can therefore be trivially modified to use the multi-threaded
|
|
Chris@82
|
90 FFTW.
|
|
Chris@82
|
91 </p>
|
|
Chris@82
|
92 <p>A shared-memory machine is one in which all CPUs can directly access
|
|
Chris@82
|
93 the same main memory, and such machines are now common due to the
|
|
Chris@82
|
94 ubiquity of multi-core CPUs. FFTW’s multi-threading support allows
|
|
Chris@82
|
95 you to utilize these additional CPUs transparently from a single
|
|
Chris@82
|
96 program. However, this does not necessarily translate into
|
|
Chris@82
|
97 performance gains—when multiple threads/CPUs are employed, there is
|
|
Chris@82
|
98 an overhead required for synchronization that may outweigh the
|
|
Chris@82
|
99 computatational parallelism. Therefore, you can only benefit from
|
|
Chris@82
|
100 threads if your problem is sufficiently large.
