Abstract

In this paper, we propose a high-performance parallel three- dimensional fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm on clusters of vector symmetric multiprocessor (SMP) nodes. The three-dimensional FFT algorithm can be altered into a multirow FFT algorithm to expand the innermost loop length. We use the multirow FFT algorithm to implement the parallel three-dimensional FFT algorithm. Performance results of three-dimensional power-of-two FFTs on clusters of (pseudo) vector SMP nodes, Hitachi SR8000, are reported. We succeeded in obtaining performance of about 40 GFLOPS on a 16-node Hitachi SR8000.
