|
||
|
|
<p>In this chapter we document the parallel FFTW routines for
|
||
|
|
shared-memory parallel hardware. These routines, which support
|
||
|
|
parallel one- and multi-dimensional transforms of both real and
|
||
|
|
complex data, are the easiest way to take advantage of multiple
|
||
|
|
processors with FFTW. They work just like the corresponding
|
||
|
|
uniprocessor transform routines, except that you have an extra
|
||
|
|
initialization routine to call, and there is a routine to set the
|
||
|
|
number of threads to employ. Any program that uses the uniprocessor
|
||
|
|
FFTW can therefore be trivially modified to use the multi-threaded
|
||
|
|
FFTW.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>A shared-memory machine is one in which all CPUs can directly access
|
||
|
|
the same main memory, and such machines are now common due to the
|
||
|
|
ubiquity of multi-core CPUs. FFTW’s multi-threading support allows
|
||
|
|
you to utilize these additional CPUs transparently from a single
|
||
|
|
program. However, this does not necessarily translate into
|
||
|
|
performance gains—when multiple threads/CPUs are employed, there is
|
||
|
|
an overhead required for synchronization that may outweigh the
|
||
|
|
computatational parallelism. Therefore, you can only benefit from
|
||
|
|
threads if your problem is sufficiently large.
