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