Chris@82 81 <a name="index-column_002dmajor-1"></a>
Chris@82 82 <p>A minor annoyance in calling FFTW from Fortran is that FFTW&rsquo;s array
Chris@82 83 dimensions are defined in the C convention (row-major order), while
Chris@82 84 Fortran&rsquo;s array dimensions are the opposite convention (column-major
Chris@82 85 order). See <a href="Multi_002ddimensional-Array-Format.html#Multi_002ddimensional-Array-Format">Multi-dimensional Array Format</a>. This is just a
Chris@82 86 bookkeeping difference, with no effect on performance. The only
Chris@82 87 consequence of this is that, whenever you create an FFTW plan for a
Chris@82 88 multi-dimensional transform, you must always <em>reverse the
Chris@82 89 ordering of the dimensions</em>.
Chris@82 90 </p>
Chris@82 91 <p>For example, consider the three-dimensional (L&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;M&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;N
Chris@82 92 ) arrays:
Chris@82 93 </p>
Chris@82 94 <div class="example">
Chris@82 95 <pre class="example"> complex(C_DOUBLE_COMPLEX), dimension(L,M,N) :: in, out
Chris@82 96 </pre></div>
Chris@82 97
Chris@82 98 <p>To plan a DFT for these arrays using <code>fftw_plan_dft_3d</code>, you could do:
Chris@82 99 </p>
Chris@82 100 <a name="index-fftw_005fplan_005fdft_005f3d-2"></a>
Chris@82 101 <div class="example">
Chris@82 102 <pre class="example"> plan = fftw_plan_dft_3d(N,M,L, in,out, FFTW_FORWARD,FFTW_ESTIMATE)
Chris@82 103 </pre></div>
Chris@82 104
Chris@82 105 <p>That is, from FFTW&rsquo;s perspective this is a N&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;M&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;L
Chris@82 106 array.
Chris@82 107 <em>No data transposition need occur</em>, as this is <em>only
Chris@82 108 notation</em>. Similarly, to use the more generic routine
Chris@82 109 <code>fftw_plan_dft</code> with the same arrays, you could do:
Chris@82 110 </p>
Chris@82 111 <div class="example">
Chris@82 112 <pre class="example"> integer(C_INT), dimension(3) :: n = [N,M,L]
Chris@82 113 plan = fftw_plan_dft_3d(3, n, in,out, FFTW_FORWARD,FFTW_ESTIMATE)
Chris@82 114 </pre></div>
Chris@82 115
Chris@82 116 <p>Note, by the way, that this is different from the legacy Fortran
Chris@82 117 interface (see <a href="Fortran_002dinterface-routines.html#Fortran_002dinterface-routines">Fortran-interface routines</a>), which automatically
Chris@82 118 reverses the order of the array dimension for you. Here, you are
Chris@82 119 calling the C interface directly, so there is no &ldquo;translation&rdquo; layer.
Chris@82 120 </p>
Chris@82 121 <a name="index-r2c_002fc2r-multi_002ddimensional-array-format-2"></a>
Chris@82 122 <p>An important thing to keep in mind is the implication of this for
Chris@82 123 multidimensional real-to-complex transforms (see <a href="Multi_002dDimensional-DFTs-of-Real-Data.html#Multi_002dDimensional-DFTs-of-Real-Data">Multi-Dimensional DFTs of Real Data</a>). In C, a multidimensional real-to-complex DFT
Chris@82 124 chops the last dimension roughly in half (N&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;M&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;L
Chris@82 125 real input
Chris@82 126 goes to N&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;M&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;L/2+1
Chris@82 127 complex output). In Fortran, because
Chris@82 128 the array dimension notation is reversed, the <em>first</em> dimension of
Chris@82 129 the complex data is chopped roughly in half. For example consider the
Chris@82 130 &lsquo;<samp>r2c</samp>&rsquo; transform of L&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;M&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;N
Chris@82 131 real input in Fortran:
Chris@82 132 </p>
Chris@82 133 <a name="index-fftw_005fplan_005fdft_005fr2c_005f3d-2"></a>
Chris@82 134 <a name="index-fftw_005fexecute_005fdft_005fr2c-1"></a>
Chris@82 135 <div class="example">
Chris@82 136 <pre class="example"> type(C_PTR) :: plan
Chris@82 137 real(C_DOUBLE), dimension(L,M,N) :: in
Chris@82 138 complex(C_DOUBLE_COMPLEX), dimension(L/2+1,M,N) :: out
Chris@82 139 plan = fftw_plan_dft_r2c_3d(N,M,L, in,out, FFTW_ESTIMATE)
Chris@82 140 ...
Chris@82 141 call fftw_execute_dft_r2c(plan, in, out)
Chris@82 142 </pre></div>
Chris@82 143
Chris@82 144 <a name="index-in_002dplace-9"></a>
Chris@82 145 <a name="index-padding-5"></a>
Chris@82 146 <p>Alternatively, for an in-place r2c transform, as described in the C
Chris@82 147 documentation we must <em>pad</em> the <em>first</em> dimension of the
Chris@82 148 real input with an extra two entries (which are ignored by FFTW) so as
Chris@82 149 to leave enough space for the complex output. The input is
Chris@82 150 <em>allocated</em> as a 2[L/2+1]&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;M&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;N
Chris@82 151 array, even though only
Chris@82 152 L&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;M&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;N
Chris@82 153 of it is actually used. In this example, we will
Chris@82 154 allocate the array as a pointer type, using &lsquo;<samp>fftw_alloc</samp>&rsquo; to
Chris@82 155 ensure aligned memory for maximum performance (see <a href="Allocating-aligned-memory-in-Fortran.html#Allocating-aligned-memory-in-Fortran">Allocating aligned memory in Fortran</a>); this also makes it easy to reference the
Chris@82 156 same memory as both a real array and a complex array.
