PFFFT: a pretty fast FFT.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
TL;DR
|
||
|
|
--
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
PFFFT does 1D Fast Fourier Transforms, of single precision real and
|
||
|
|
complex vectors. It tries do it fast, it tries to be correct, and it
|
||
|
|
tries to be small. Computations do take advantage of SSE1 instructions
|
||
|
|
on x86 cpus, Altivec on powerpc cpus, and NEON on ARM cpus. The
|
||
|
|
license is BSD-like.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Why does it exist:
|
||
|
|
--
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I was in search of a good performing FFT library , preferably very
|
||
|
|
small and with a very liberal license.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When one says "fft library", FFTW ("Fastest Fourier Transform in the
|
||
|
|
West") is probably the first name that comes to mind -- I guess that
|
||
|
|
99% of open-source projects that need a FFT do use FFTW, and are happy
|
||
|
|
with it. However, it is quite a large library , which does everything
|
||
|
|
fft related (2d transforms, 3d transforms, other transformations such
|
||
|
|
as discrete cosine , or fast hartley). And it is licensed under the
|
||
|
|
GNU GPL , which means that it cannot be used in non open-source
|
||
|
|
products.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
An alternative to FFTW that is really small, is the venerable FFTPACK
|
||
|
|
v4, which is available on NETLIB. A more recent version (v5) exists,
|
||
|
|
but it is larger as it deals with multi-dimensional transforms. This
|
||
|
|
is a library that is written in FORTRAN 77, a language that is now
|
||
|
|
considered as a bit antiquated by many. FFTPACKv4 was written in 1985,
|
||
|
|
by Dr Paul Swarztrauber of NCAR, more than 25 years ago ! And despite
|
||
|
|
its age, benchmarks show it that it still a very good performing FFT
|
||
|
|
library, see for example the 1d single precision benchmarks here:
|
||
|
|
http://www.fftw.org/speed/opteron-2.2GHz-32bit/ . It is however not
|
||
|
|
competitive with the fastest ones, such as FFTW, Intel MKL, AMD ACML,
|
||
|
|
Apple vDSP. The reason for that is that those libraries do take
|
||
|
|
advantage of the SSE SIMD instructions available on Intel CPUs,
|
||
|
|
available since the days of the Pentium III. These instructions deal
|
||
|
|
with small vectors of 4 floats at a time, instead of a single float
|
||
|
|
for a traditionnal FPU, so when using these instructions one may expect
|
||
|
|
a 4-fold performance improvement.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The idea was to take this fortran fftpack v4 code, translate to C,
|
||
|
|
modify it to deal with those SSE instructions, and check that the
|
||
|
|
final performance is not completely ridiculous when compared to other
|
||
|
|
SIMD FFT libraries. Translation to C was performed with f2c (
|
||
|
|
http://www.netlib.org/f2c/ ). The resulting file was a bit edited in
|
||
|
|
order to remove the thousands of gotos that were introduced by
|
||
|
|
f2c. You will find the fftpack.h and fftpack.c sources in the
|
||
|
|
repository, this a complete translation of
|
||
|
|
http://www.netlib.org/fftpack/ , with the discrete cosine transform
|
||
|
|
and the test program. There is no license information in the netlib
|
||
|
|
repository, but it was confirmed to me by the fftpack v5 curators that
|
||
|
|
the same terms do apply to fftpack v4:
|
||
|
|
http://www.cisl.ucar.edu/css/software/fftpack5/ftpk.html . This is a
|
||
|
|
"BSD-like" license, it is compatible with proprietary projects.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Adapting fftpack to deal with the SIMD 4-element vectors instead of
|
||
|
|
scalar single precision numbers was more complex than I originally
|
||
|
|
thought, especially with the real transforms, and I ended up writing
|
||
|
|
more code than I planned..
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The code:
|
||
|
|
--
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Only two files, in good old C, pffft.c and pffft.h . The API is very
|
||
|
|
very simple, just make sure that you read the comments in pffft.h.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Comparison with other FFTs:
|
||
|
|
--
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The idea was not to break speed records, but to get a decently fast
|
||
|
|
fft that is at least 50% as fast as the fastest FFT -- especially on
|
||
|
|
slowest computers . I'm more focused on getting the best performance
|
||
|
|
on slow cpus (Atom, Intel Core 1, old Athlons, ARM Cortex-A9...), than
|
||
|
|
on getting top performance on today fastest cpus.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It can be used in a real-time context as the fft functions do not
|
||
|
|
perform any memory allocation -- that is why they accept a 'work'
|
||
|
|
array in their arguments.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It is also a bit focused on performing 1D convolutions, that is why it
|
||
|
|
provides "unordered" FFTs , and a fourier domain convolution
|
||
|
|
operation.
|
||
|
|

||

Benchmark results (cpu tested: core i7 2600, core 2 quad, core 1 duo, atom N270, cortex-A9)
|
||
|
|
--
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The benchmark shows the performance of various fft implementations measured in
|
||
|
|
MFlops, with the number of floating point operations being defined as 5Nlog2(N)
|
||
|
|
for a length N complex fft, and 2.5*Nlog2(N) for a real fft.

||

So it looks like, on ARM, gcc 4.7 is the best at scalar floating point
|
||
|
|
(the fftpack performance numbers are better with gcc), while clang is
|
||
|
|
the best with neon intrinsics (see how pffft perf has improved with
|
||
|
|
clang 3.2).

The performance on the tegra K1 is pretty impressive. I'm not
|
||
|
|
including the FFTW numbers as they as slightly below the scalar
|
||
|
|
fftpack numbers, so something must be wrong (however it seems to be
|
||
|
|
correctly configured and is using neon simd instructions).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When using clang 3.4 the pffft version is even a bit faster, reaching
|
||
|
|
5.7 GFlops for real ffts of size 1024.
