|
|
<p>In this chapter we document the parallel FFTW routines for parallel
|
||
|
|
systems supporting the MPI message-passing interface. Unlike the
|
||
|
|
shared-memory threads described in the previous chapter, MPI allows
|
||
|
|
you to use <em>distributed-memory</em> parallelism, where each CPU has
|
||
|
|
its own separate memory, and which can scale up to clusters of many
|
||
|
|
thousands of processors. This capability comes at a price, however:
|
||
|
|
each process only stores a <em>portion</em> of the data to be
|
||
|
|
transformed, which means that the data structures and
|
||
|
|
programming-interface are quite different from the serial or threads
|
||
|
|
versions of FFTW.
|
||
|
|
<span id="index-data-distribution"></span>
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Distributed-memory parallelism is especially useful when you are
|
||
|
|
transforming arrays so large that they do not fit into the memory of a
|
||
|
|
single processor. The storage per-process required by FFTW’s MPI
|
||
|
|
routines is proportional to the total array size divided by the number
|
||
|
|
of processes. Conversely, distributed-memory parallelism can easily
|
||
|
|
pose an unacceptably high communications overhead for small problems;
|
||
|
|
the threshold problem size for which parallelism becomes advantageous
|
||
|
|
will depend on the precise problem you are interested in, your
|
||
|
|
hardware, and your MPI implementation.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>A note on terminology: in MPI, you divide the data among a set of
|
||
|
|
“processes” which each run in their own memory address space.
|
||
|
|
Generally, each process runs on a different physical processor, but
|
||
|
|
this is not required. A set of processes in MPI is described by an
|
||
|
|
opaque data structure called a “communicator,” the most common of
|
||
|
|
which is the predefined communicator <code>MPI_COMM_WORLD</code> which
|
||
|
|
refers to <em>all</em> processes. For more information on these and
|
||
|
|
other concepts common to all MPI programs, we refer the reader to the
|
||
|
|
documentation at <a href="http://www.mcs.anl.gov/research/projects/mpi/">the MPI home
|
||
|
|
page</a>.

|
<p>We assume in this chapter that the reader is familiar with the usage
|
||
|
|
of the serial (uniprocessor) FFTW, and focus only on the concepts new
|
||
|
|
to the MPI interface.
