mpiFFT4py -- Parallel 3D FFT in Python using MPI for Python

Project description

mpiFFT4py

https://travis-ci.org/spectralDNS/mpiFFT4py.svg?branch=master https://circleci.com/gh/spectralDNS/mpiFFT4py/tree/master.svg?style=svg https://zenodo.org/badge/51817237.svg

Description

mpiFFT4py performs FFTs in parallel in Python. It is developed to be able to do FFTs in parallel on a three-dimensional computational box (a structured grid), but there are also routines for doing the FFTs on a 2D mesh. It implements both the slab and the pencil decompositions.

Installation

mpiFFT4py requires numpy for basic array oparations, [pyfftw](https://github.com/pyfftw/pyFFTW) for efficient FFTs and [mpi4py](https://bitbucket.org/mpi4py/mpi4py) for MPI communications. However, if pyfftw is not found, then the slower numpy.fft is used instead. [cython](http://cython.org) is used to optimize a few routines. Install using regular python distutils:

python setup.py install --prefix="Path on the PYTHONPATH"

To install in place do:

python setup.py build_ext --inplace

To install using Anaconda, you may either compile it yourselves using (from the main directory):

conda config --add channels conda-forge
conda build conf/conda
conda install mpiFFT4py --use-local

or use precompiled binaries in the[conda-forge](https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/mpifft4py) or the [spectralDNS](https://anaconda.org/spectralDNS/mpifft4py) channel on Anaconda cloud:

conda install -c conda-forge mpifft4py

or:

conda config --add channels conda-forge
conda install -c spectralDNS mpifft4py

There are binaries compiled for both OSX and linux, and several versions of Python. Note that the spectralDNS channel contains bleeding-edge versions of the Software, whereas conda-forge is more stable.
