Foil 38 Multi Dimensional FFT's

From Parallel FFT and use in PDE Solvers Computational Science Class CPS615 -- Winter Semester 2000. by Geoffrey C. Fox


1 Multi-dimensional FFT's are very common and the most important for parallel computing as they are more computationally intense
  • Images naturally give two dimensional FFT's
2 Take a 2d2 by 2d1 FFT in two dimensions and label it by a d digit binary number with d=d1+d2
3 Then all discussions are essentially identically to one dimensional FFT with dimension d
4 The algorithm is different but communication issues and strategy of re-ordering binary index are same
5 In particular one would normally first do the d1 transform in say low d1 bits and then swap upper d2 bits into lower part of d digit label -- now do d2 digit transform. This way one again only gets communication in swap and otherwise one has perfectly one dimensional parallel FFT's inside each processor
