Flatiron Institute Nonuniform Fast Fourier Transform library: FINUFFT

  Python wrapper:

Principal author Alex H. Barnett ([email protected]), main co-developers Jeremy F. Magland, Ludvig af Klinteberg, Yu-hsuan "Melody" Shih, Libin Lu, Joakim Andén, Marco Barbone, and Robert Blackwell; see docs/ackn.rst for full list of contributors. ​

This is a lightweight CPU library to compute the three standard types of nonuniform FFT to a specified precision, in one, two, or three dimensions. It is written in C++ with interfaces to C, Fortran, MATLAB/octave, Python, and (in a separate repository) Julia. It now also integrates the GPU CUDA library cuFINUFFT.

Please see the online documentation which can also be downloaded as a PDF manual, and a project overview. You will also want to see CPU example codes in the directories examples, test, fortran, matlab/test, matlab/examples, python/finufft/test, etc, and GPU examples in examples/cuda, test/cuda, etc.

If you cannot build via cMake, try the makefile. Python users try pip install finufft. See the docs for details. See our GitHub Issues for tips.
