FFT_OPEN_MP
Fast Fourier Transform Using OpenMP

FFT_OPEN_MP is a C program which demonstrates the computation of a Fast Fourier Transform in parallel, using OpenMP.

On an Apple PowerPC G5 with two processors, the following results were observed:

Threads	N	Time	MegaFLOPS
1	33,554,432	32.65	128.4
2	33,554,432	19.87	211.0
4	33,554,432	19.80	211.7

Usage:

In the BASH shell, the program could be run with 2 threads using the commands:

        export OMP_NUM_THREADS=2
        ./fft_open_mp
