MS8
State-of-the-Art FFT -- Algorithms, Implementations, and Software

10:00 AM-12:00 PM
Room: Executive Salon 3

The fast Fourier transform (FFT) is a crucial tool in many areas of scientific computing. Work on fully general algorithms, high-performance implementation, and good quality software packages with smooth interface and comprehensive functionality is a key contribution. The speakers in this minisymposium will discuss high performance and parallel implementation of FFT, mathematical encapsulations of FFT algorithms that are amenable to automatic implementations tuned to hardware platforms, and a survey of existing software, including discussion of the lack of standard functionalities.

Organizer: Ping Tak Peter Tang
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
