2001 – 2002 Implementation of parallel FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) - parallel FFT algorithm using broadcasting
- The algorithm implemented in parallel a non recursive version of procedure SEQUENTIAL IFFT
- It was designed to run on a mesh-connected SIMD computer shared memory, imple¬mented on PVM UNIX using butterfly architecture
- The number of processors was power of 2 (16 for this implementation), each of them having an initial value (from input sequence) inserted in the shared memory
- At each step one processor calculated the new value (real and imaginary part) for the corresponding coefficients and updated the memory and, by means of message-passing, this was sent to the processor with the corresponding location
- When the procedure was finished the results were in the memory
- Final result was verified with Matlab
