Performance
The FFT implementation in this module is optimized for performance:
- Uses the
rustfft
crate for the core FFT algorithm - Provides SIMD-accelerated implementations when available
- Includes specialized implementations for common cases
- Parallel implementations for large arrays using Rayon
- GPU acceleration for even greater performance on supported hardware
- Advanced parallel planning system for creating and executing multiple FFT plans concurrently
- Offers automatic selection of the most efficient algorithm
- Smart thresholds to choose between sequential and parallel implementations
Parallel Planning
The parallel planning system allows for concurrent creation and execution of FFT plans:
use ;
use Complex64;
// Configure parallel planning
let config = ParallelPlanningConfig ;
// Create a parallel planner
let planner = new;
// Create multiple plans in parallel
let plan_specs = vec!;
let results = planner.plan_multiple.unwrap;
// Use the plans for execution
let plan = &results.plan;
let executor = new;
// Create input data
let size = plan.shape.iter.;
let input = vec!;
let mut output = vec!;
// Execute the FFT plan in parallel
executor.execute.unwrap;
// Batch execution of multiple FFTs
let batch_size = 4;
let mut inputs = Vec with_capacity;
let mut outputs = Vec with_capacity;
// Create batch data
for _ in 0..batch_size
// Get mutable references to outputs
let mut output_refs: = outputs.iter_mut
.map
.collect;
// Execute batch of FFTs in parallel
executor.execute_batch.unwrap;
Benefits of using the parallel planning system:
- Create multiple FFT plans concurrently, reducing initialization time
- Execute FFTs in parallel for better hardware utilization
- Batch processing for multiple input signals
- Configurable thresholds to control when parallelism is used
- Worker pool management for optimal thread usage
Testing
To run the tests for this crate:
# Run only library tests (recommended to avoid timeouts with large-scale tests)
# Or use the Makefile.toml task (if cargo-make is installed)
# Run all tests including benchmarks (may timeout on slower systems)
Some of the extensive benchmark tests with large FFT sizes may timeout during testing. We recommend using the --lib
flag to run only the core library tests.
Benchmarking
Comprehensive benchmarks are available to measure acceleration performance:
# Run acceleration benchmarks
# Or use the convenience script
# Run specific benchmark categories
The benchmark suite includes:
- CPU vs GPU Performance: Compare CPU sparse FFT with GPU acceleration
- Multi-GPU Scaling: Measure performance scaling across multiple devices
- Specialized Hardware: Benchmark FPGA and ASIC accelerator performance
- Algorithm Comparison: Compare different sparse FFT algorithms across acceleration methods
- Sparsity Scaling: Measure performance across different sparsity levels
- Memory Efficiency: Benchmark memory usage for large signals
