Recently, there is an MSc thesis assessing the performance of 2DECOMP&FFT, P3DFFT and FFTW's MPI interface. >> More

2011-07-08
Version 1.1.319 is released. This version contains an IBM ESSL implementation of the FFT library, as well as a new FFTW implementation using the latest F2003 interface of FFTW version 3.3 beta1. CHANGE LOG

2011-06-27
After a very very long wait, there is a new FFTW release of version 3.3 beta1 (and hopefully a stable version to follow soon). It has well-designed API for distributed FFT (although still based on 1D slab decomposition). 2DECOMP&FFT will be updated with a new FFTW engine soon, using the new F2003 interface (which enables guaranteed memory alignment, something hard to acheive when using the legacy Fortran interface).

2011-06-12
Version 1.1.273 is released. This version contains performance improvements. CHANGE LOG

2011-05-24
Presentation on code parallelisation and optmisation at the 2011 Cray User Group conference at Fairbanks, Alaska, USA. Check the DSTAR project.
