NAME
       fftwf-wisdom - create wisdom (pre-optimized FFTs)

SYNOPSIS
       fftwf-wisdom [OPTION]... [SIZE]...

DESCRIPTION
       fftwf-wisdom  is a utility to generate FFTW wisdom files, which contain
       saved information about how to optimally compute	 (Fourier)  transforms
       of  various  sizes.  FFTW is a free library to compute discrete Fourier
       transforms in one or more dimensions, for arbitrary sizes, and of  both
       real  and  complex data, among other related operations.	 More informa‐
       tion on FFTW can be found at the FFTW home page: http://www.fftw.org

       Programs using FFTW can be written to load  wisdom  from	 an  arbitrary
       file,  string, or other source.	Moreover, it is likely that many FFTW-
       using programs will load the system wisdom file,	 which	is  stored  in
       /etc/fftw/wisdomf  by  default.	 fftwf-wisdom can be used to create or
       add to such wisdom files.  In its most typical usage, the  wisdom  file
       can be created to pre-plan a canonical set of sizes (see below) via:

			    fftwf-wisdom -v -c -o wisdomf

       (this  will take many hours, which can be limited by the -t option) and
       the output wisdomf file can then be copied (as root) to	/etc/fftw/  or
       whatever.

       The  fftwf-wisdom  program normally writes the wisdom directly to stan‐
       dard output, but this can be changed via the -o option, as in the exam‐
       ple above.

       If the system wisdom file /etc/fftw/wisdomf already exists, then fftwf-
       wisdom reads this existing wisdom (unless the -n option	is  specified)
       and  outputs both the old wisdom and any newly created wisdom.  In this
       way, it can be used to add new transform sizes to the  existing	system
       wisdom (or other wisdom file, with the -w option).

SPECIFYING SIZES
       Although	 a  canonical  set of sizes to optimize is specified by the -c
       option, the user can also specify zero or more non-canonical  transform
       sizes  and  types  to  optimize,	 via  the SIZE arguments following the
       option flags.  Alternatively, the sizes to optimize can	be  read  from
       standard	 input	(whitespace-separated),	 if  a SIZE argument of "-" is
       supplied.

       Sizes are specified by the syntax:

			<type><inplace><direction><geometry>

       <type> is either ´c´ (complex), ´r´ (real, r2c/c2r), or ´k´ (r2r,  per-
       dimension kinds, specified in the geometry, below).

       <inplace> is either ´i´ (in place) or ´o´ (out of place).

       <direction> is either ´f´ (forward) or ´b´ (backward).  The <direction>
       should be omitted for ´k´ transforms, where it  is  specified  via  the
       geometry instead.

       <geometry>  is the size and dimensionality of the transform, where dif‐
       ferent dimensions are separated by ´x´ (e.g. ´16x32´ for	 a  two-dimen‐
       sional 16 by 32 transform).  In the case of ´k´ transforms, the size of
       each dimension is followed by a "type" string,  which  can  be  one  of
       f/b/h/e00/e01/e10/e11/o00/o01/o10/o11				   for
       R2HC/HC2R/DHT/REDFT00/.../RODFT11, respectively, as defined in the FFTW
       manual.

       For example, ´cif12x13x14´ is a three-dimensional 12 by 13 x 14 complex
       DFT operating in-place.	´rob65536´  is	a  one-dimensional  size-65536
       out-of-place complex-to-real (backwards) transform operating on Hermit‐
       ian-symmetry input.  ´ki10hx20e01´ is a two-dimensional 10  by  20  r2r
       transform  where	 the first dimension is a DHT and the second dimension
       is an REDFT01 (DCT-III).

OPTIONS
       -h, --help
	      Display help on the command-line options and usage.

       -V, --version
	      Print the version number and copyright information.

       -v, --verbose
	      Verbose output.  (You can specify this multiple times, or supply
	      a	 numeric  argument  greater  than 1, to increase the verbosity
	      level.)  Note that the verbose output will  be  mixed  with  the
	      wisdom output (making it impossible to import), unless you write
	      the wisdom to a file via the -o option.

       -c, --canonical
	      Optimize/pre-plan a canonical set of sizes: all  powers  of  two
	      and  ten	up to 2^20 (1048576), including both real and complex,
	      forward and backwards,  in-place	and  out-of-place  transforms.
	      Also  includes  two-  and three-dimensional transforms of equal-
	      size dimensions (e.g. 16x16x16).

       -t hours, --time-limit=hours
	      Stop after a time of hours (hours) has elapsed, outputting accu‐
	      mulated  wisdom.	 (The problems are planned in increasing order
	      of size.)	 Defaults to 0, indicating no time limit.

       -o file, --output-file=file
	      Send wisdom output to file rather than to standard  output  (the
	      default).

       -m, --measure; -e, --estimate; -x, --exhaustive
	      Normally,	 fftwf-wisdom  creates plans in FFTW_PATIENT mode, but
	      with these options you can instead use FFTW_MEASURE,  FFTW_ESTI‐
	      MATE,  or	 FFTW_EXHAUSTIVE  modes, respectively, as described in
	      more detail by the FFTW manual.

	      Note that wisdom is tagged with the planning patience level, and
	      a	 single	 file can mix different levels of wisdom (e.g. you can
	      mostly use the patient default, but plan a few  sizes  that  you
	      especially care about in --exhaustive mode).

       -n, --no-system-wisdom
	      Do not import the system wisdom from /etc/fftw/wisdomf (which is
	      normally read by default).

       -w file, --wisdom-file=file
	      Import wisdom from file  (in  addition  to  the  system  wisdom,
	      unless  -n is specified).	 Multiple wisdom files can be read via
	      multiple -w options.  If file is	"-",  then  read  wisdom  from
	      standard input.
