Abstract

The Fast Fourier Transform appears frequently in scientific computing. Therefore it is desirable to implement it efficiently on parallel computers. In this thesis, we investigate several different aspects of parallel Fast Fourier Transform implementation techniques for distributed-memory message-passing systems such as hypercube multiprocessors. We describe various Fast Fourier Transform algorithms using a matrix notation. An error analysis is presented that considers the effect of different methods used in the computation of the Fourier Transform coefficients as well as accumulated roundoff. New implementations of one and two-dimensional Fast Fourier Transforms are presented along with comparisons with existing methods. New algorithms for symmetric transforms are also developed and the results show excellent speedup when implemented on the Intel iPSC hypercube.
