fft_openmp, a C code 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 |
In the BASH shell, the program could be run with 2 threads using the commands:
export OMP_NUM_THREADS=2
./fft_openmp
