Various approaches for performing a fast-Fourier transform (FFT) of N input data elements using a radix K decomposition of the FFT are disclosed (K>=2, and N>=8). In one approach, N/K input data elements are written to respective ones of K addressable memories, and N/K*log<SUB>K </SUB>N passes are performed on the input data. Each pass includes reading K data elements in parallel from the K addressable memories using the respectively generated addresses, the K data elements being in a first order corresponding to the respective memories; permuting the first order of K data elements into a second order of K data elements; performing a radix K calculation on the second order of K data elements, resulting in corresponding result data elements in the second order; permuting the second order of K result data elements into the first order; and writing the K result data elements in parallel to the corresponding K addressable memories using the respective addresses.
