Beyond here there be dragons! + +This API is not easy to use, is not well documented, and breaks the KISS principle. + + +Still reading? Okay, you may get rewarded for your patience with a considerable speedup +(2-3x) on intel x86 machines with SSE if you are willing to jump through some hoops. + +The basic idea is to use the packed 4 float __m128 data type as a scalar element. +This means that the format is pretty convoluted. It performs 4 FFTs per fft call on signals A,B,C,D. + +For complex data, the data is interlaced as follows: +rA0,rB0,rC0,rD0, iA0,iB0,iC0,iD0, rA1,rB1,rC1,rD1, iA1,iB1,iC1,iD1 ... +where "rA0" is the real part of the zeroth sample for signal A + +Real-only data is laid out: +rA0,rB0,rC0,rD0, rA1,rB1,rC1,rD1, ... + +Compile with gcc flags something like +-O3 -mpreferred-stack-boundary=4 -DUSE_SIMD=1 -msse + +Be aware of SIMD alignment. This is the most likely cause of segfaults. +The code within kissfft uses scratch variables on the stack. +With SIMD, these must have addresses on 16 byte boundaries. +Search on "SIMD alignment" for more info. + + + +Robin at Divide Concept was kind enough to share his code for formatting to/from the SIMD kissfft. +I have not run it -- use it at your own risk.
