Parallel Computation of the Interleaved Fast Fourier Transform with MPI

Mirza, Ameen Baig

Abstract Details

2008, Master of Science, University of Akron, Computer Science.
Fourier Transforms have wide range of applications ranging from signal processing to astronomy. The advent of digital computers led to the development of the FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) in 1965. The Fourier Transform algorithm involves many add/multiply computations involving trigonometric functions, and FFT significantly increased the speed at which the Fourier transform could be computed. A great deal of research has been done to optimize the FFT computation to provide much better computational speed. The modern advent of parallel computation offers a new opportunity to significantly increase the speed of computing the Fourier transform. This project provides a C code implementation of a new parallel method of computing this important transform. This implementation assigns computational tasks to different processors using the Message Passing Interface (MPI) library. This method involves parallel computation of the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) as one of the parts. Computation on two different computer clusters using up to six processors have been performed, results and comparisons with other implementations are presented.
