OpenFFT

  • Openness:3 ★★★
  • Document quality:2 ★★☆

OpenFFT is an open source parallel package for computing multi-dimensional Fast Fourier Transforms (3-D and 4-D FFTs) of both real and complex numbers of arbitrary input size. It originates from OpenMX (Open source package for Material eXplorer). OpenFFT adopts a communication-optimal domain decomposition method that is adaptive and capable of localizing data when transposing from one dimension to another for reducing the total volume of communication. It is written in C and MPI, with support for Fortran through the Fortran interface, and employs FFTW3 for computing 1-D FFTs.

Reference

OtherSales point It enables us to efficiently perform three- and four dimensional FFT in an arbitrary size. The library exhibits a good performance on the K-computer and PC clusters because of an optimized data structure minimizing the communication volume for a given number of MPI processes. It is easy to introduce the library for C and Fortran programs using the well developed interface. Related Application FFTW3 is required.
