|
|
<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>
