4 unusual facts about Fast Fourier transform


AMD Core Math Library

A comprehensive suite of Fast Fourier transform (FFTs) in single-, double-, single-complex and double-complex data types.

Lindsey–Fox algorithm

The Lindsey–Fox algorithm uses the FFT (fast Fourier transform) to very efficiently conduct a grid search in the complex plane to find accurate approximations to the N roots (zeros) of an Nth-degree polynomial.

Two from the Vault

Almost twenty-four years later, Don Pearson and producer Dan Healy solved this problem by employing a B&K 2032 Fast Fourier transform (FFT) digital spectrum analyzer to measure the delay in time between the different microphones, using the track of bassist Phil Lesh as the time centerpiece.

Xilinx

Xilinx's IP cores include IP for simple functions (BCD encoders, counters, etc.), for domain specific cores (digital signal processing, FFT and FIR cores) to complex systems (multi-gigabit networking cores, the MicroBlaze soft microprocessor and the compact Picoblaze microcontroller).


Lucas–Lehmer primality test

A more efficient multiplication method, the Schönhage–Strassen algorithm based on the Fast Fourier transform, requires O(p log p log log p) time to square a p-bit number, reducing the complexity to O(p2 log p log log p) or Õ(p2).

Numerical Recipes

The Numerical Recipes books cover a range of topics that include both classical numerical analysis (interpolation, integration, linear algebra, differential equations, and so on), signal processing (Fourier methods, filtering), statistical treatment of data, and a few topics in machine learning (hidden Markov models, support vector machines).

Single-frequency network

Single-carrier frequency-domain-equalization (SC-FDE), i.e. single-carrier modulation combined with guard intervals and fft based frequency domain equalization, or its multi-user version Single-carrier FDMA (SC-FDMA).

Very long instruction word

An architecture designed for use in signal processing may have a number of special-purpose instructions to facilitate certain complicated operations such as fast Fourier transform (FFT) computation or certain calculations that recur in tomographic contexts.

Volker Strassen

In 1971 Strassen published another paper together with Arnold Schönhage on asymptotically-fast integer multiplication based on the fast Fourier transform; see the Schönhage–Strassen algorithm.
