Processing array data on SIMD multi-core processor architectures

摘要

Techniques are disclosed for converting data into a format tailored for efficient multidimensional fast Fourier transforms (FFTS) on single instruction, multiple data (SIMD) multi-core processor architectures. The technique includes converting data from a multidimensional array stored in a conventional row-major order into SIMD format. Converted data in SIMD format consists of a sequence of blocks, where each block interleaves s rows such that SIMD vector processors may operate on s rows simultaneously. As a result, the converted data in SIMD format enables smaller-sized 1D FFTs to be optimized in SIMD multi-core processor architectures.
