.TH FFTW-WISDOM 1 "February, 2003" "fftw" "fftw"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
fftwf\-wisdom \- create wisdom (pre-optimized FFTs)
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B fftwf\-wisdom
|
|
[\fIOPTION\fR]... [\fISIZE\fR]...
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
.\" Add any additional description here
|
|
.I fftwf\-wisdom
|
|
is a utility to generate FFTW
|
|
.B wisdom
|
|
files, which contain saved information about how to optimally compute
|
|
(Fourier) transforms of various sizes. 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
|
|
|
|
Programs using FFTW can be written to load wisdom from an arbitrary file,
|
|
string, or other source. Moreover, it is likely that many FFTW-using
|
|
programs will load the \fBsystem wisdom\fR file, which is stored in
|
|
.I /etc/fftw/wisdomf
|
|
by default.
|
|
.I fftwf\-wisdom
|
|
can be used to create or add to such wisdom files. In its most
|
|
typical usage, the wisdom file can be created to pre-plan a canonical
|
|
set of sizes (see below) via:
|
|
|
|
.ce
|
|
fftwf\-wisdom \-v \-c \-o wisdomf
|
|
|
|
(this will take many hours, which can be limited by the
|
|
.B \-t
|
|
option) and the output
|
|
.I wisdomf
|
|
file can then be copied (as root) to
|
|
.I /etc/fftw/
|
|
or whatever.
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
.I fftwf\-wisdom
|
|
program normally writes the wisdom directly to standard output, but this
|
|
can be changed via the
|
|
.B \-o
|
|
option, as in the example above.
|
|
|
|
If the system wisdom file
|
|
.I /etc/fftw/wisdomf
|
|
already exists, then
|
|
.I fftwf\-wisdom
|
|
reads this existing wisdom (unless the
|
|
.B \-n
|
|
option is specified) and outputs both the old wisdom and any
|
|
newly created wisdom. In this way, it can be used to add new transform
|
|
sizes to the existing system wisdom (or other wisdom file, with the
|
|
.B \-w
|
|
option).
|
|
.SH SPECIFYING SIZES
|
|
Although a canonical set of sizes to optimize is specified by the
|
|
.B \-c
|
|
option, the user can also specify zero or more non-canonical transform
|
|
sizes and types to optimize, via the
|
|
.I SIZE
|
|
arguments following the option flags. Alternatively, the sizes to
|
|
optimize can be read from standard input (whitespace-separated), if a
|
|
.I SIZE
|
|
argument of "\-" is supplied.
|
|
|
|
Sizes are specified by the syntax:
|
|
|
|
.ce
|
|
<\fItype\fR><\fIinplace\fR><\fIdirection\fR><\fIgeometry\fR>
|
|
|
|
<\fItype\fR> is either \'c\' (complex), \'r\' (real, r2c/c2r), or
|
|
\'k\' (r2r, per-dimension kinds, specified in the geometry, below).
|
|
|
|
<\fIinplace\fR> is either \'i\' (in place) or \'o\' (out of place).
|
|
|
|
<\fIdirection\fR> is either \'f\' (forward) or \'b\' (backward). The
|
|
<\fIdirection\fR> should be omitted for \'k\' transforms, where it is
|
|
specified via the geometry instead.
|
|
|
|
<\fIgeometry\fR> is the size and dimensionality of the transform,
|
|
where different dimensions are separated by \'x\' (e.g. \'16x32\' for
|
|
a two-dimensional 16 by 32 transform). In the case of \'k\'
|
|
transforms, the size of each dimension is followed by a "type" string,
|
|
which can be one of f/b/h/e00/e01/e10/e11/o00/o01/o10/o11 for
|
|
R2HC/HC2R/DHT/REDFT00/.../RODFT11, respectively, as defined in the
|
|
FFTW manual.
|
|
|
|
For example, \'cif12x13x14\' is a three-dimensional 12 by 13 x 14
|
|
complex DFT operating in-place. \'rob65536\' is a one-dimensional
|
|
size-65536 out-of-place complex-to-real (backwards) transform
|
|
operating on Hermitian-symmetry input. \'ki10hx20e01\' is a
|
|
two-dimensional 10 by 20 r2r transform where the first dimension is a
|
|
DHT and the second dimension is an REDFT01 (DCT-III).

.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR
|
|
Display help on the command-line options and usage.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-V\fR, \fB\-\-version\fR
|
|
Print the version number and copyright information.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-v\fR, \fB\-\-verbose\fR
|
|
Verbose output. (You can specify this multiple times, or supply a numeric
|
|
argument greater than 1, to increase the verbosity level.) Note that the
|
|
verbose output will be mixed with the wisdom output (making it impossible
|
|
to import), unless you write the wisdom to a file via the
|
|
.B \-o
|
|
option.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-c\fR, \fB\-\-canonical\fR
|
|
Optimize/pre-plan a canonical set of sizes: all powers of two and ten
|
|
up to 2^20 (1048576), including both real and complex, forward and
|
|
backwards, in-place and out-of-place transforms. Also includes two-
|
|
and three-dimensional transforms of equal-size dimensions
|
|
(e.g. 16x16x16).
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-t\fR \fIhours\fR, \fB\-\-time\-limit\fR=\fIhours\fR
|
|
Stop after a time of
|
|
.I hours
|
|
(hours) has elapsed, outputting accumulated wisdom. (The problems are planned
|
|
in increasing order of size.) Defaults to 0, indicating no time limit.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-o\fR \fIfile\fR, \fB\-\-output-file\fR=\fIfile\fR
|
|
Send wisdom output to
|
|
.I file
|
|
rather than to standard output (the default).
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-m\fR, \fB\-\-measure\fR; \fB\-e\fR, \fB\-\-estimate\fR; \fB\-x\fR, \fB\-\-exhaustive\fR
|
|
Normally,
|
|
.I fftwf\-wisdom
|
|
creates plans in FFTW_PATIENT mode, but with these options you can instead
|
|
use FFTW_MEASURE, FFTW_ESTIMATE, or FFTW_EXHAUSTIVE modes, respectively,
|
|
as described in more detail by the FFTW manual.
|
|
|
|
Note that wisdom is tagged with the planning patience level, and a
|
|
single file can mix different levels of wisdom (e.g. you can mostly
|
|
use the patient default, but plan a few sizes that you especially care
|
|
about in
|
|
.B \-\-exhaustive
|
|
mode).
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-n\fR, \fB\-\-no\-system\-wisdom\fR
|
|
Do not import the system wisdom from
|
|
.I /etc/fftw/wisdomf
|
|
(which is normally read by default).
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-w\fR \fIfile\fR, \fB\-\-wisdom\-file\fR=\fIfile\fR
|
|
Import wisdom from
|
|
.I file
|
|
(in addition to the system wisdom, unless
|
|
.B \-n
|
|
is specified). Multiple wisdom files can be read via multiple
|
|
.B \-w
|
|
options. If
|
|
.I file
|
|
is "\-", then read wisdom from standard input.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-T\fR \fIN\fR, \fB\--threads\fR=\fIN\fR
|
|
Plan with
|
|
.I N
|
|
threads. This option is only present if FFTW was configured with
|
|
thread support.
