FFTW3
Fast Fourier Transforms
FORTRAN77 Calling Examples

FFTW3 is a directory of FORTRAN77 programs which demonstrate the use of the FFTW3 library, which was written by Matteo Frigo and Steven Johnson.

FFTW3 is a library of C routines which can compute the Fast Fourier transform very efficiently.

FFTW3 can compute the discrete Fourier transform of:

• complex data;
• real data;
• even-symmetric real data (cosine transform);
• odd-symmetric real data (sine transform);

The length of the data is not required to be a power of 2. Any length of data can be processed.

The data is not restricted to 1 dimensional vectors. FFTW3 can handle data that is 2 or 3 dimensional. In fact, the program can handle data with any dimensionality.

The FORTRAN77 include file is in /usr/local/include. A sample copy is also available in this directory.

Interested users should go to the FFTW home page: http://www.fftw.org/ which contains the current source code, examples, and documentation.

Usage:

Any program, subroutine or function that calls the FFTW3 functions must include, in its declarations, the statement

        include "fftw3.f"
      

At link time, you must include the compiled FFTW3 library, which is probably a file with the name libfftw3.a. If directory is the directory where this library is stored, then an appropriate command might be

        gfortran myprog.f -Ldirectory -lfftw3
      

Languages:

FFTW3 examples are available in a C version and a FORTRAN77 version and a FORTRAN90 version.
