79 <h3 class="section">10.4 Generating your own code</h3>
80 <a name="index-code-generator-1"></a>
81
82 <p>The directory <code>genfft</code> contains the programs that were used to
83 generate FFTW&rsquo;s &ldquo;codelets,&rdquo; which are hard-coded transforms of small
84 sizes.
85 <a name="index-codelet-2"></a>
86 We do not expect casual users to employ the generator, which is a rather
87 sophisticated program that generates directed acyclic graphs of FFT
88 algorithms and performs algebraic simplifications on them. It was
89 written in Objective Caml, a dialect of ML, which is available at
90 <a href="http://caml.inria.fr/ocaml/index.en.html">http://caml.inria.fr/ocaml/index.en.html</a>.
91 <a name="index-Caml"></a>
92 </p>
93
94 <p>If you have Objective Caml installed (along with recent versions of
95 GNU <code>autoconf</code>, <code>automake</code>, and <code>libtool</code>), then you
96 can change the set of codelets that are generated or play with the
97 generation options. The set of generated codelets is specified by the
98 <code>{dft,rdft}/{codelets,simd}/*/Makefile.am</code> files. For example, you can add
99 efficient REDFT codelets of small sizes by modifying
100 <code>rdft/codelets/r2r/Makefile.am</code>.
101 <a name="index-REDFT-2"></a>
102 After you modify any <code>Makefile.am</code> files, you can type <code>sh
103 bootstrap.sh</code> in the top-level directory followed by <code>make</code> to
104 re-generate the files.
105 </p>
106 <p>We do not provide more details about the code-generation process, since
107 we do not expect that most users will need to generate their own code.
108 However, feel free to contact us at <a href="mailto:fftw@fftw.org">fftw@fftw.org</a> if
109 you are interested in the subject.
110 </p>
111 <a name="index-monadic-programming"></a>
112 <p>You might find it interesting to learn Caml and/or some modern
113 programming techniques that we used in the generator (including monadic
114 programming), especially if you heard the rumor that Java and
115 object-oriented programming are the latest advancement in the field.
116 The internal operation of the codelet generator is described in the
117 paper, &ldquo;A Fast Fourier Transform Compiler,&rdquo; by M. Frigo, which is
118 available from the <a href="http://www.fftw.org">FFTW home page</a> and also
119 appeared in the <cite>Proceedings of the 1999 ACM SIGPLAN Conference on
120 Programming Language Design and Implementation (PLDI)</cite>.
