[comp.sys.sgi] Looking for really fast FFT

ssr@gauss.Berkeley.EDU (Steve S. Roy) (08/04/89)

Has anybody out there written or seen some really fast 1D and 2D
Fast Fourier Transform packages for the mips processor in general or
for the Iris 4D2XX in particular?

I am planning to do a 3D spectral simulation and I'm trying to decide
where to run it.  If I can get and Iris 2XX to run fast enough I won't
bother with supercomputer time.

 Kuck and Associates is just announcing the availability of our
 signal processing package SIGpack for the SGI 4D series.  The
 FFTs included are 1D to begin with, but will be augmented with
 special 2D ones in the future.  I will send you information by
 U.S. mail if you return your address by e-mail.

 The price for SIGpack and its companion library CLASSpack is
 $5,000 but is discounted heavily for educational users ($1,250).
 Availability date is August 31, 1989.

 The SIGpack FFTs are optimized for multiprocessor use and will run
 best on the 4D220 and above.  If you have specialized needs for
 multi-dimensional FFTs I can put you in touch with some SGI
 scientists who may have code that will be useful.
