| 57 <h3 class="section">6.10 FFTW MPI Performance Tips</h3> | |
| 58 | |
| 59 <p>In this section, we collect a few tips on getting the best performance | |
| 60 out of FFTW's MPI transforms. | |
| 61 | |
| 62 <p>First, because of the 1d block distribution, FFTW's parallelization is | |
| 63 currently limited by the size of the first dimension. | |
| 64 (Multidimensional block distributions may be supported by a future | |
| 65 version.) More generally, you should ideally arrange the dimensions so | |
| 66 that FFTW can divide them equally among the processes. See <a href="Load-balancing.html#Load-balancing">Load balancing</a>. | |
| 67 <a name="index-block-distribution-423"></a><a name="index-load-balancing-424"></a> | |
| 68 | |
| 69 <p>Second, if it is not too inconvenient, you should consider working | |
| 70 with transposed output for multidimensional plans, as this saves a | |
| 71 considerable amount of communications. See <a href="Transposed-distributions.html#Transposed-distributions">Transposed distributions</a>. | |
| 72 <a name="index-transpose-425"></a> | |
| 73 | |
| 74 <p>Third, the fastest choices are generally either an in-place transform | |
| 75 or an out-of-place transform with the <code>FFTW_DESTROY_INPUT</code> flag | |
| 76 (which allows the input array to be used as scratch space). In-place | |
| 77 is especially beneficial if the amount of data per process is large. | |
| 78 <a name="index-FFTW_005fDESTROY_005fINPUT-426"></a> | |
| 79 | |
| 80 <p>Fourth, if you have multiple arrays to transform at once, rather than | |
| 81 calling FFTW's MPI transforms several times it usually seems to be | |
| 82 faster to interleave the data and use the advanced interface. (This | |
| 83 groups the communications together instead of requiring separate | |
| 84 messages for each transform.) | |
