Intel scientists have received a “best paper” award at SC12 for research into more efficient processing for a fundamental calculation in HPC. , entitled A Framework for Low-Communication 1-D FFT, the paper describes a framework that can be twice as fast as leading FFT libraries on state-of-the-art computer clusters.
In this paper, we present a mathematical framework from which many single-all-to-all and easy-to-implement 1-D FFT algorithms can be derived. For large-scale problems, our implementation can be twice as fast as leading FFT libraries on state-of-the-art computer clusters. Moreover, our framework allows tradeoff between accuracy and performance, further boosting performance if reduced accuracy is acceptable.
