.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.
