.SH NAME
|
|
fftw\-wisdom\-to\-conf \- generate FFTW wisdom (pre-planned transforms)
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
\fBfftw\-wisdom\-to\-conf\fR [< \fIINPUT\fR] [> \fIOUTPUT\fR]
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
.\" Add any additional description here
|
|
.I fftw\-wisdom\-to\-conf
|
|
is a utility to generate C
|
|
.B configuration
|
|
routines from FFTW
|
|
.B wisdom
|
|
files, where the latter contain saved information about how to
|
|
optimally compute (Fourier) transforms of various sizes. A
|
|
configuration routine is a C subroutine that you link into your
|
|
program, replacing a routine of the same name in the FFTW library,
|
|
that determines which parts of FFTW are callable by your program.
|
|
|
|
The reason to do this is that, if you only need transforms of a
|
|
limited set of sizes and types, and if you are statically linking your
|
|
program, then using a configuration file generated from wisdom for
|
|
those types can substantially reduce the size of your executable.
|
|
(Otherwise, because of FFTW's dynamic nature, all of FFTW's transform
|
|
code must be linked into any program using FFTW.)
|
|
|
|
FFTW is a free library to compute discrete Fourier transforms in one
|
|
or more dimensions, for arbitrary sizes, and of both real and complex
|
|
data, among other related operations. More information on FFTW can be
|
|
found at the FFTW home page:
|
|
.I http://www.fftw.org
|
|
|
|
.I fftw\-wisdom\-to\-conf
|
|
reads wisdom from standard input and writes the configuration to
|
|
standard output. It can easily be combined with the
|
|
.I fftw\-wisdom
|
|
tool, for example:
|
|
|
|
fftw\-wisdom \-n \-o wisdom cof1024 cob1024
|
|
.br
|
|
fftw\-wisdom\-to\-conf < wisdom > conf.c
|
|
|
|
will create a configuration "conf.c" containing only those parts of
|
|
FFTW needed for the optimized complex forwards and backwards
|
|
out-of-place transforms of size 1024 (also saving the wisdom itself in
|
|
"wisdom").
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can run your actual program, export wisdom for all
|
|
plans that were created (ideally in FFTW_PATIENT or FFTW_EXHAUSTIVE
|
|
mode), use this as input for \fIfftw\-wisdom\-to\-conf\fR,
|
|
and then re-link your program with the resulting configuration routine.
|
|
|
|
Note that the configuration routine does not contain the wisdom, only
|
|
the routines necessary to implement the wisdom, so your program should
|
|
also import the wisdom in order to benefit from the pre-optimized
|
|
plans.
