FFT 1D R2C example:

#!c++

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include "hcfft.h"
#include "hc_am.hpp"
#include "hcfftlib.h"

  • Compiling the example code:

Assuming the library and compiler installation is followed as in installation.

/opt/rocm/hcc/bin/clang++ /opt/rocm/hcc/bin/hcc-config –cxxflags –ldflags -lhc_am -lhcfft -I../lib/include -L../build/lib/src hcfft_1D_R2C.cpp

Installation

The following are the steps to use the library

  • ROCM 1.5 Kernel, Driver and Compiler Installation (if not done until now)

  • Library installation.

ROCM 1.5 Installation

To Know more about ROCM refer https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/ROCm/blob/master/README.md

a. Installing Debian ROCM repositories

Before proceeding, make sure to completely uninstall any pre-release ROCm packages.

Refer https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/ROCm#removing-pre-release-packages for instructions to remove pre-release ROCM packages.

Steps to install rocm package are,

wget -qO - https://packages.amd.com/rocm/apt/debian/rocm.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -

sudo sh -c 'echo deb [arch=amd64] http://packages.amd.com/rocm/apt/debian/ xenial main > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/rocm.list'

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install rocm

Then, make the ROCm kernel your default kernel. If using grub2 as your bootloader, you can edit the GRUB_DEFAULT variable in the following file:

sudo vi /etc/default/grub

sudo update-grub

and Reboot the system

b. Verifying the Installation

Once Reboot, to verify that the ROCm stack completed successfully you can execute HSA vector_copy sample application:

  • cd /opt/rocm/hsa/sample

  • make

  • ./vector_copy

Library Installation

a. Install using Prebuilt debian

wget https://github.com/ROCmSoftwarePlatform/hcFFT/blob/master/pre-builds/hcfft-master-87a37f5-Linux.deb
sudo dpkg -i hcfft-master-87a37f5-Linux.deb

b. Build debian from source

git clone https://github.com/ROCmSoftwarePlatform/hcFFT.git && cd hcFFT

chmod +x build.sh && ./build.sh

build.sh execution builds the library and generates a debian under build directory.

c. Install CPU based FFTW3 library

sudo apt-get install fftw3 fftw3-dev pkg-config

Introduction

This repository hosts the HCC based FFT Library, that targets GPU acceleration of FFT routines on AMD devices. To know what HCC compiler features, refer here.

The following are the sub-routines that are implemented

  1. R2C : Transforms Real valued input in Time domain to Complex valued output in Frequency domain.

  2. C2R : Transforms Complex valued input in Frequency domain to Real valued output in Real domain.

  3. C2C : Transforms Complex valued input in Frequency domain to Complex valued output in Real domain or vice versa

KeyFeature

  • Support 1D, 2D and 3D Fast Fourier Transforms

  • Supports R2C, C2R, C2C, D2Z, Z2D and Z2Z Transforms

  • Support Out-Of-Place data storage

  • Ability to Choose desired target accelerator

  • Single and Double precision
