Fourier Transform Functions
The general form of the discrete Fourier transform is

l

, where
σ
is a scale factor,
δ
= -1 for the forward transform, and
δ
= +1 for the inverse (backward) transform. In the forward transform, the input (periodic) sequence

belongs to the set of complex-valued sequences and real-valued sequences. Respective domains for the backward transform are represented by complex-valued sequences and complex-valued conjugate-even sequences.

The manual
describes the following implementations of the fast Fourier transform functions available in Intel® oneAPI Math Kernel Library
- Fast Fourier transform (FFT) functions for single-processor or shared-memory systems (see FFT Functions)
- Cluster FFT functions for distributed-memory architectures (available only for Intel® 64 and Intel® Many Integrated Core architectures)
Intel® oneAPI Math Kernel Library
Both FFT and Cluster FFT functions compute an FFT in five steps:
- Allocate a fresh descriptor for the problem with a call to theDftiCreateDescriptororDftiCreateDescriptorDMfunction. The descriptor captures the configuration of the transform, such as the dimensionality (or rank), sizes, number of transforms, memory layout of the input/output data (defined by strides), and scaling factors. Many of the configuration settings are assigned default values in this call which you might need to modify in your application.
- Optionally adjust the descriptor configuration with a call to theDftiSetValueorDftiSetValueDMfunction as needed. Typically, you must carefully define the data storage layout for an FFT or the data distribution among processes for a Cluster FFT. The configuration settings of the descriptor, such as the default values, can be obtained with theDftiGetValueorDftiGetValueDMfunction.
- Commit the descriptor with a call to theDftiCommitDescriptororDftiCommitDescriptorDMfunction, that is, make the descriptor ready for the transform computation. Once the descriptor is committed, the parameters of the transform, such as the type and number of transforms, strides and distances, the type and storage layout of the data, and so on, are "frozen" in the descriptor.
- Compute the transform with a call to theDftiComputeForward/DftiComputeBackwardorDftiComputeForwardDM/DftiComputeBackwardDMfunctions as many times as needed. Because the descriptor is defined and committed separately, all that the compute functions do is take the input and output data and compute the transform as defined. To modify any configuration parameters for another call to a compute function, useDftiSetValuefollowed byDftiCommitDescriptor(DftiSetValueDMfollowed byDftiCommitDescriptorDM) or create and commit another descriptor.
- Deallocate the descriptor with a call to theDftiFreeDescriptororDftiFreeDescriptorDMfunction. This returns the memory internally consumed by the descriptor to the operating system.
All the above functions return an integer status value, which is zero upon successful completion of the operation. You can interpret a non-zero status with the help of the
DftiErrorClass
or
DftiErrorMessage
function.
The FFT functions support lengths with arbitrary factors. You can improve performance of the FFT if the length of your data vector permits factorization into powers of optimized radices. See the Developer Guide for specific radices supported efficiently.

The FFT functions assume the Cartesian representation of complex data (that is, the real and imaginary parts define a complex number). The Vector Mathematical Functions provide efficient tools for conversion to and from polar representation.
