| 
 | |
| <p>Matteo Frigo was supported in part by the Special Research Program SFB
 | |
| F011 “AURORA” of the Austrian Science Fund FWF and by MIT Lincoln
 | |
| Laboratory.  For previous versions of FFTW, he was supported in part by the
 | |
| Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), under Grants
 | |
| N00014-94-1-0985 and F30602-97-1-0270, and by a Digital Equipment
 | |
| Corporation Fellowship.  
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| <p>Steven G. Johnson was supported in part by a Dept. of Defense NDSEG
 | |
| Fellowship, an MIT Karl Taylor Compton Fellowship, and by the Materials
 | |
| Research Science and Engineering Center program of the National Science
 | |
| Foundation under award DMR-9400334.
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| <p>Code for the Cell Broadband Engine was graciously donated to the FFTW
 | |
| project by the IBM Austin Research Lab and included in fftw-3.2.  (This
 | |
| code was removed in fftw-3.3.)
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| <p>Code for the MIPS paired-single SIMD support was graciously donated to
 | |
| the FFTW project by CodeSourcery, Inc.
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| <p>We are grateful to Sun Microsystems Inc. for its donation of a
 | |
| cluster of 9 8-processor Ultra HPC 5000 SMPs (24 Gflops peak). These
 | |
| machines served as the primary platform for the development of early
 | |
| versions of FFTW.
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| <p>We thank Intel Corporation for donating a four-processor Pentium Pro
 | |
| machine.  We thank the GNU/Linux community for giving us a decent OS to
 | |
| run on that machine.
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| <p>We are thankful to the AMD corporation for donating an AMD Athlon XP 1700+
 | |
| computer to the FFTW project.
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| <p>We thank the Compaq/HP testdrive program and VA Software Corporation
 | |
| (SourceForge.net) for providing remote access to machines that were used
 | |
| to test FFTW.
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| <p>The <code>genfft</code> suite of code generators was written using Objective
 | |
| Caml, a dialect of ML.  Objective Caml is a small and elegant language
 | |
| developed by Xavier Leroy.  The implementation is available from
 | |
| <a href="http://caml.inria.fr/"><code>http://caml.inria.fr/</code></a>.  In previous
 | |
| releases of FFTW, <code>genfft</code> was written in Caml Light, by the same
 | |
| authors.  An even earlier implementation of <code>genfft</code> was written in
 | |
| Scheme, but Caml is definitely better for this kind of application.

 | |
| </p>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p>FFTW uses many tools from the GNU project, including <code>automake</code>,
 | |
| <code>texinfo</code>, and <code>libtool</code>.
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| <p>Prof. Charles E. Leiserson of MIT provided continuous support and
 | |
| encouragement.  This program would not exist without him.  Charles also
 | |
| proposed the name “codelets” for the basic FFT blocks.
 | |
| <span id="index-codelet-3"></span>
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p>Prof. John D. Joannopoulos of MIT demonstrated continuing tolerance of
 | |
| Steven’s “extra-curricular” computer-science activities, as well as
 | |
| remarkable creativity in working them into his grant proposals.
 | |
| Steven’s physics degree would not exist without him.
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| <p>Franz Franchetti wrote SIMD extensions to FFTW 2, which eventually
 | |
| led to the SIMD support in FFTW 3.
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| <p>Stefan Kral wrote most of the K7 code generator distributed with FFTW
 | |
| 3.0.x and 3.1.x.
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| <p>Andrew Sterian contributed the Windows timing code in FFTW 2.  
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| <p>Didier Miras reported a bug in the test procedure used in FFTW 1.2.  We
 | |
| now use a completely different test algorithm by Funda Ergun that does
 | |
| not require a separate FFT program to compare against.
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| <p>Wolfgang Reimer contributed the Pentium cycle counter and a few fixes
 | |
| that help portability.
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| <p>Ming-Chang Liu uncovered a well-hidden bug in the complex transforms of
 | |
| FFTW 2.0 and supplied a patch to correct it.
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| <p>The FFTW FAQ was written in <code>bfnn</code> (Bizarre Format With No Name)
 | |
| and formatted using the tools developed by Ian Jackson for the Linux
 | |
| FAQ.
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| <p><em>We are especially thankful to all of our users for their
 | |
| continuing support, feedback, and interest during our development of
 | |
| FFTW.</em>
