Attention

WARNING: From 9am on 19th August until 5pm on 2nd September there will be no access to the Stanage HPC cluster.

We will send an email to notify you when Stanage is back online and available for job submission.

Attention

The ShARC HPC cluster was decommissioned on the 30th of November 2023 at 17:00. It is no longer possible for users to access that cluster.

fftw

FFTW is a C subroutine library for computing the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) in one or more dimensions, of arbitrary input size, and of both real and complex data (as well as of even/odd data, i.e. the discrete cosine/sine transforms or DCT/DST).

Usage

To make this library available, run the following:

module load libs/fftw/3.3.5/gcc-4.9.4

Installation notes

This section is primarily for administrators of the system.

Version 3.3.5

This was compiled with GCC 4.9.4 (for compatibility with CUDA, which doesn’t support GCC >= 5.0.0). The following were enabled at compile-time:

  • Threading (inc. OpenMP)

  • Shared-library support

  • SIMD (specifically, AVX2)

First, download, configure, build, test and install using this script.

During the testing stage you should see lots of numerical output plus:

--------------------------------------------------------------
         FFTW transforms passed basic tests!
--------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------
         FFTW threaded transforms passed basic tests!
