Chris@10 57
Chris@10 58 <p>Matteo Frigo was supported in part by the Special Research Program SFB
Chris@10 59 F011 &ldquo;AURORA&rdquo; of the Austrian Science Fund FWF and by MIT Lincoln
Chris@10 60 Laboratory. For previous versions of FFTW, he was supported in part by the
Chris@10 61 Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), under Grants
Chris@10 62 N00014-94-1-0985 and F30602-97-1-0270, and by a Digital Equipment
Chris@10 63 Corporation Fellowship.
Chris@10 64
Chris@10 65 <p>Steven G. Johnson was supported in part by a Dept. of Defense NDSEG
Chris@10 66 Fellowship, an MIT Karl Taylor Compton Fellowship, and by the Materials
Chris@10 67 Research Science and Engineering Center program of the National Science
Chris@10 68 Foundation under award DMR-9400334.
Chris@10 69
Chris@10 70 <p>Code for the Cell Broadband Engine was graciously donated to the FFTW
Chris@10 71 project by the IBM Austin Research Lab and included in fftw-3.2. (This
Chris@10 72 code was removed in fftw-3.3.)
Chris@10 73
Chris@10 74 <p>Code for the MIPS paired-single SIMD support was graciously donated to
Chris@10 75 the FFTW project by CodeSourcery, Inc.
Chris@10 76
Chris@10 77 <p>We are grateful to Sun Microsystems Inc. for its donation of a
Chris@10 78 cluster of 9 8-processor Ultra HPC 5000 SMPs (24 Gflops peak). These
Chris@10 79 machines served as the primary platform for the development of early
Chris@10 80 versions of FFTW.
Chris@10 81
Chris@10 82 <p>We thank Intel Corporation for donating a four-processor Pentium Pro
Chris@10 83 machine. We thank the GNU/Linux community for giving us a decent OS to
Chris@10 84 run on that machine.
Chris@10 85
Chris@10 86 <p>We are thankful to the AMD corporation for donating an AMD Athlon XP 1700+
Chris@10 87 computer to the FFTW project.
Chris@10 88
Chris@10 89 <p>We thank the Compaq/HP testdrive program and VA Software Corporation
Chris@10 90 (SourceForge.net) for providing remote access to machines that were used
Chris@10 91 to test FFTW.
Chris@10 92
Chris@10 93 <p>The <code>genfft</code> suite of code generators was written using Objective
Chris@10 94 Caml, a dialect of ML. Objective Caml is a small and elegant language
Chris@10 95 developed by Xavier Leroy. The implementation is available from
Chris@10 96 <a href="http://caml.inria.fr/"><code>http://caml.inria.fr/</code></a>. In previous
Chris@10 97 releases of FFTW, <code>genfft</code> was written in Caml Light, by the same
Chris@10 98 authors. An even earlier implementation of <code>genfft</code> was written in
Chris@10 99 Scheme, but Caml is definitely better for this kind of application.

Chris@10 101
Chris@10 102 <p>FFTW uses many tools from the GNU project, including <code>automake</code>,
Chris@10 103 <code>texinfo</code>, and <code>libtool</code>.
Chris@10 104
Chris@10 105 <p>Prof. Charles E. Leiserson of MIT provided continuous support and
Chris@10 106 encouragement. This program would not exist without him. Charles also
Chris@10 107 proposed the name &ldquo;codelets&rdquo; for the basic FFT blocks.
Chris@10 108 <a name="index-codelet-629"></a>
Chris@10 109
Chris@10 110 <p>Prof. John D. Joannopoulos of MIT demonstrated continuing tolerance of
Chris@10 111 Steven's &ldquo;extra-curricular&rdquo; computer-science activities, as well as
Chris@10 112 remarkable creativity in working them into his grant proposals.
Chris@10 113 Steven's physics degree would not exist without him.
Chris@10 114
Chris@10 115 <p>Franz Franchetti wrote SIMD extensions to FFTW 2, which eventually
Chris@10 116 led to the SIMD support in FFTW 3.
Chris@10 117
Chris@10 118 <p>Stefan Kral wrote most of the K7 code generator distributed with FFTW
Chris@10 119 3.0.x and 3.1.x.
Chris@10 120
Chris@10 121 <p>Andrew Sterian contributed the Windows timing code in FFTW 2.
Chris@10 122
Chris@10 123 <p>Didier Miras reported a bug in the test procedure used in FFTW 1.2. We
Chris@10 124 now use a completely different test algorithm by Funda Ergun that does
Chris@10 125 not require a separate FFT program to compare against.
Chris@10 126
Chris@10 127 <p>Wolfgang Reimer contributed the Pentium cycle counter and a few fixes
Chris@10 128 that help portability.
Chris@10 129
Chris@10 130 <p>Ming-Chang Liu uncovered a well-hidden bug in the complex transforms of
Chris@10 131 FFTW 2.0 and supplied a patch to correct it.
Chris@10 132
Chris@10 133 <p>The FFTW FAQ was written in <code>bfnn</code> (Bizarre Format With No Name)
Chris@10 134 and formatted using the tools developed by Ian Jackson for the Linux
Chris@10 135 FAQ.
Chris@10 136
Chris@10 137 <p><em>We are especially thankful to all of our users for their
Chris@10 138 continuing support, feedback, and interest during our development of
Chris@10 139 FFTW.</em>
