optimize_rft_speed
— Optimize the runtime of the real-valued FFT.
Signature
Description
optimize_rft_speed
determines a method that achieves an
optimum runtime of the real-valued FFT for an image of size
Width
x Height
. The data that are
determined for one image size do not influence the methods used for
other image sizes. Consequently, optimize_rft_speed
can be
called multiple times with different values for Width
and
Height
to achieve an optimum runtime for all image sizes
that are used in an application. The parameter Mode
determines the thoroughness of the search for the fastest method.
For Mode
= 'standard' a fast search is used,
which typically takes a few seconds. The method thus determined
results in very good runtimes, which are not always optimal. For
Mode
= 'patient' a more thorough search is
performed, which typically takes several seconds and in most cases
leads to optimum runtimes. For Mode
=
'exhaustive' an exhaustive search is performed, which
typically takes several minutes and always results in the optimum
runtime. In most applications, Mode
=
'standard' results in the best compromise between the
runtime of the real-valued FFT and the time required for the search
of the optimum runtime. The data determined with
optimize_rft_speed
can be saved with
write_fft_optimization_data
and can be loaded with
read_fft_optimization_data
.
Please note that this optimization is performed for the particular computer on which the operator is called. The results are not suited to be transferred and used on other computers unless they have the same hardware and software configuration including the driver versions.
optimize_rft_speed
influences the runtime of
rft_generic
.
