fft-0.1.8.4: Bindings to the FFTW library.

Math.FFT

Description

This module exposes an interface to FFTW, the Fastest Fourier Transform in the West.

These bindings present several levels of interface. All the higher level functions (dft, idft, dftN, ...) are easily derived from the general functions (dftG, dftRCG, ...). Only the general functions let you specify planner flags. The higher levels all set estimate so you should not have to wait through time consuming planning (see below for more).

The simplest interface is the one-dimensional transforms. If you supply a multi-dimensional array, these will only transform the first dimension. These functions only take one argument, the array to be transformed.

At the next level, we have multi-dimensional transforms where you specify which dimensions to transform in and the array to transform. For instance

b = dftRCN [0,2] a

is the real to complex transform in dimensions 0 and 2 of the array a which must be at least rank 3. The array b will be complex valued with the same extent as a in every dimension except 2. If a had extent n in dimension 2 then the b will have extent a div 2 + 1 which consists of all non-negative frequency components in this dimension (the negative frequencies are conjugate to the positive frequencies because of symmetry since a is real valued).

The real to real transforms allow different transform kinds in each transformed dimension. For example,

b = dftRRN [(0,DHT), (1,REDFT10), (2,RODFT11)] a

is a Discrete Hartley Transform in dimension 0, a discrete cosine transform (DCT-2) in dimension 1, and distrete sine transform (DST-4) in dimension 2 where the array a must have rank at least 3.

The general interface is similar to the multi-dimensional interface, takes as its first argument, a bitwise .|. of planning Flags. (In the complex version, the sign of the transform is first.) For example,

b = dftG DFTBackward (patient .|. destroy_input) [1,2] a

is an inverse DFT in dimensions 1 and 2 of the complex array a which has rank at least 3. It will use the patient planner to generate a (near) optimal transform. If you compute the same type of transform again, it should be very fast since the plan is cached.

Inverse transforms are typically normalized. The un-normalized inverse transforms are dftGU, dftCRGU and dftCROGU. For example

b = dftCROGU measure [0,1] a

is an un-normalized inverse DFT in dimensions 0 and 1 of the complex array a (representing the non-negative frequencies, where the negative frequencies are conjugate) which has rank at least 2. Here, dimension 1 is logically odd so if a has extent n in dimension 1, then b will have extent (n - 1) * 2 + 1 in dimension 1. It is more common that the logical dimension is even, in which case we would use dftCRGU in which case b would have extent (n - 1) * 2 in dimension 1.

The FFTW library separates transforms into two steps. First you compute a plan for a given transform, then you execute it. Often the planning stage is quite time-consuming, but subsequent transforms of the same size and type will be extremely fast. The planning phase actually computes transforms, so it overwrites its input array. For many C codes, it is reasonable to re-use the same arrays to compute a given transform on different data. This is not a very useful paradigm from Haskell. Fortunately, FFTW caches its plans so if try to generate a new plan for a transform size which has already been planned, the planner will return immediately. Unfortunately, it is not possible to consult the cache, so if a plan is cached, we may use more memory than is strictly necessary since we must allocate a work array which we expect to be overwritten during planning. FFTW can export its cached plans to a string. This is known as wisdom. For high performance work, it is a good idea to compute plans of the sizes you are interested in, using aggressive options (i.e. patient), use exportWisdomString to get a string representing these plans, and write this to a file. Then for production runs, you can read this in, then add it to the cache with importWisdomString. Now you can use the estimate planner so the Haskell bindings know that FFTW will not overwrite the input array, and you will still get a high quality transform (because it has wisdom).

Planner flags

Algorithm restriction flags

Allows FFTW to overwrite the input array with arbitrary data; this can sometimes allow more efficient algorithms to be employed.

Setting this flag implies that two memory allocations will be done, one for work space, and one for the result. When estimate is not set, we will be doing two memory allocations anyway, so we set this flag as well (since we don't retain the work array anyway).

preserveInput specifies that an out-of-place transform must not change its input array. This is ordinarily the default, except for complex to real transforms for which destroyInput is the default. In the latter cases, passing preserveInput will attempt to use algorithms that do not destroy the input, at the expense of worse performance; for multi-dimensional complex to real transforms, however, no input-preserving algorithms are implemented so the Haskell bindings will set destroyInput and do a transform with two memory allocations.

Planning rigor flags

estimate specifies that, instead of actual measurements of different algorithms, a simple heuristic is used to pick a (probably sub-optimal) plan quickly. With this flag, the input/output arrays are not overwritten during planning.

This is the only planner flag for which a single memory allocation is possible.

measure tells FFTW to find an optimized plan by actually computing several FFTs and measuring their execution time. Depending on your machine, this can take some time (often a few seconds). measure is the default planning option.

patient is like measure, but considers a wider range of algorithms and often produces a "more optimal" plan (especially for large transforms), but at the expense of several times longer planning time (especially for large transforms).

exhaustive is like patient but considers an even wider range of algorithms, including many that we think are unlikely to be fast, to produce the most optimal plan but with a substantially increased planning time.
