Functions

rocfft_status rocfft_setup()#: Library setup function, called once in program before start of library use.

rocfft_status rocfft_cleanup()#: Library cleanup function, called once in program after end of library use.

rocfft_status rocfft_plan_create(rocfft_plan *plan, rocfft_result_placement placement, rocfft_transform_type transform_type, rocfft_precision precision, size_t dimensions, const size_t *lengths, size_t number_of_transforms, const rocfft_plan_description description)#

Create an FFT plan.

This API creates a plan, which the user can execute subsequently. This function takes many of the fundamental parameters needed to specify a transform.

The dimensions parameter can take a value of 1, 2, or 3. The ‘lengths’ array specifies the size of data in each dimension. Note that lengths[0] is the size of the innermost dimension, lengths[1] is the next higher dimension and so on (column-major ordering).

The ‘number_of_transforms’ parameter specifies how many transforms (of the same kind) needs to be computed. By specifying a value greater than 1, a batch of transforms can be computed with a single API call.

Additionally, a handle to a plan description can be passed for more detailed transforms. For simple transforms, this parameter can be set to NULL.

The plan must be destroyed with a call to rocfft_plan_destroy.

Parameters:

plan – [out] plan handle
placement – [in] placement of result
transform_type – [in] type of transform
precision – [in] precision
dimensions – [in] dimensions
lengths – [in] dimensions-sized array of transform lengths
number_of_transforms – [in] number of transforms
description – [in] description handle created by rocfft_plan_description_create; can be NULL for simple transforms

rocfft_status rocfft_execute(const rocfft_plan plan, void *in_buffer[], void *out_buffer[], rocfft_execution_info info)#

Execute an FFT plan.

This API executes an FFT plan on buffers given by the user.

If the transform is in-place, only the input buffer is needed and the output buffer parameter can be set to NULL. For not in-place transforms, output buffers have to be specified.

Input and output buffer are arrays of pointers. Interleaved array formats are the default, and require just one pointer per input or output buffer. Planar array formats require two pointers per input or output buffer - real and imaginary pointers, in that order.

Note that input buffers may still be overwritten during execution of a transform, even if the transform is not in-place.

The final parameter in this function is a rocfft_execution_info handle. This optional parameter serves as a way for the user to control execution streams and work buffers.

Parameters:

plan – [in] plan handle
in_buffer – [inout] array (of size 1 for interleaved data, of size 2 for planar data) of input buffers
out_buffer – [inout] array (of size 1 for interleaved data, of size 2 for planar data) of output buffers, ignored for in-place transforms
info – [in] execution info handle created by rocfft_execution_info_create

rocfft_status rocfft_plan_destroy(rocfft_plan plan)#

Destroy an FFT plan.

This API frees the plan after it is no longer needed.

Parameters:: plan – [in] plan handle

rocfft_status rocfft_plan_description_set_data_layout(rocfft_plan_description description, const rocfft_array_type in_array_type, const rocfft_array_type out_array_type, const size_t *in_offsets, const size_t *out_offsets, const size_t in_strides_size, const size_t *in_strides, const size_t in_distance, const size_t out_strides_size, const size_t *out_strides, const size_t out_distance)#

Set advanced data layout parameters on a plan description.

This API specifies advanced layout of input/output buffers for a plan description.

The following parameters are supported for inputs and outputs:

Array type (real, hermitian, or complex data, in either interleaved or planar format).
- Real forward transforms require real input and hermitian output.
- Real inverse transforms require hermitian input and real output.
- Complex transforms require complex input and output.
- Hermitian and complex data defaults to interleaved if a specific format is not specified.
Offset of first data element in the data buffer. Defaults to 0 if unspecified.
Stride between consecutive elements in each dimension. Defaults to contiguous data in all dimensions if unspecified.
Distance between consecutive batches. Defaults to contiguous batches if unspecified.

Not all combinations of array types are supported and error codes will be returned for unsupported cases.

Parameters:

description – [inout] description handle
in_array_type – [in] array type of input buffer
out_array_type – [in] array type of output buffer
in_offsets – [in] offsets, in element units, to start of data in input buffer
out_offsets – [in] offsets, in element units, to start of data in output buffer
in_strides_size – [in] size of in_strides array (must be equal to transform dimensions)
in_strides – [in] array of strides, in each dimension, of input buffer; if set to null ptr library chooses defaults
in_distance – [in] distance between start of each data instance in input buffer
out_strides_size – [in] size of out_strides array (must be equal to transform dimensions)
out_strides – [in] array of strides, in each dimension, of output buffer; if set to null ptr library chooses defaults
out_distance – [in] distance between start of each data instance in output buffer

rocfft_status rocfft_get_version_string(char *buf, size_t len)#

Get library version string.

Parameters:

buf – [inout] buffer that receives the version string
len – [in] length of buf, minimum 30 characters

rocfft_status rocfft_plan_get_work_buffer_size(const rocfft_plan plan, size_t *size_in_bytes)#

Get work buffer size.

Get the work buffer size required for a plan.

Parameters:

plan – [in] plan handle
size_in_bytes – [out] size of needed work buffer in bytes

rocfft_status rocfft_plan_get_print(const rocfft_plan plan)#

Print all plan information.

Prints plan details to stdout, to aid debugging

Parameters:: plan – [in] plan handle

rocfft_status rocfft_plan_description_create(rocfft_plan_description *description)#

Create plan description.

This API creates a plan description with which the user can set extra plan properties. The plan description must be freed with a call to rocfft_plan_description_destroy.

Parameters:: description – [out] plan description handle

rocfft_status rocfft_plan_description_destroy(rocfft_plan_description description)#

Destroy a plan description.

This API frees the plan description. A plan description can be freed any time after it is passed to rocfft_plan_create.

Parameters:: description – [in] plan description handle

rocfft_status rocfft_execution_info_create(rocfft_execution_info *info)#

Create execution info.

This API creates an execution info with which the user can control plan execution and work buffers. The execution info must be freed with a call to rocfft_execution_info_destroy.

Parameters:: info – [out] execution info handle

rocfft_status rocfft_execution_info_destroy(rocfft_execution_info info)#

Destroy an execution info.

This API frees the execution info. An execution info object can be freed any time after it is passed to rocfft_execute.

Parameters:: info – [in] execution info handle

rocfft_status rocfft_execution_info_set_work_buffer(rocfft_execution_info info, void *work_buffer, const size_t size_in_bytes)#

Set work buffer in execution info.

This is one of the execution info functions to specify optional additional information to control execution. This API provides a work buffer for the transform. It must be called before rocfft_execute.

When a non-zero value is obtained from rocfft_plan_get_work_buffer_size, that means the library needs a work buffer to compute the transform. In this case, the user should allocate the work buffer and pass it to the library via this API.

If a work buffer is required for the transform but is not specified using this function, rocfft_execute will automatically allocate the required buffer and free it when execution is finished.

Users should allocate their own work buffers if they need precise control over the lifetimes of those buffers, or if multiple plans need to share the same buffer.

Parameters:

info – [in] execution info handle
work_buffer – [in] work buffer
size_in_bytes – [in] size of work buffer in bytes

rocfft_status rocfft_execution_info_set_stream(rocfft_execution_info info, void *stream)#

Set stream in execution info.

Associates an existing compute stream to a plan. This must be called before the call to rocfft_execute.

Once the association is made, execution of the FFT will run the computation through the specified stream.

The stream must be of type hipStream_t. It is an error to pass the address of a hipStream_t object.

Parameters:

info – [in] execution info handle
stream – [in] underlying compute stream

rocfft_status rocfft_execution_info_set_load_callback(rocfft_execution_info info, void **cb_functions, void **cb_data, size_t shared_mem_bytes)#

Set a load callback for a plan execution (experimental)

This function specifies a user-defined callback function that is run to load input from global memory at the start of the transform. Callbacks are an experimental feature in rocFFT.

Callback function pointers/data are given as arrays, with one function/data pointer per device executing this plan. Currently, plans can only use one device.

The provided function pointers replace any previously-specified load callback for this execution info handle.

Load callbacks have the following signature:

T load_cb(T* data, size_t offset, void* cbdata, void* sharedMem);

‘T’ is the type of a single element of the input buffer. It is the caller’s responsibility to ensure that the function type is appropriate for the plan (for example, a single-precision real-to-complex transform would load single-precision real elements).

A null value for ‘cb’ may be specified to clear any previously registered load callback.

Currently, ‘shared_mem_bytes’ must be 0. Callbacks are not supported on transforms that use planar formats for either input or output.

Parameters:

info – [in] execution info handle
cb – [in] callback function pointers
cbdata – [in] callback function data, passed to the function pointer when it is called
shared_mem_bytes – [in] amount of shared memory to allocate for the callback function to use

rocfft_status rocfft_execution_info_set_store_callback(rocfft_execution_info info, void **cb_functions, void **cb_data, size_t shared_mem_bytes)#

Set a store callback for a plan execution (experimental)

This function specifies a user-defined callback function that is run to store output to global memory at the end of the transform. Callbacks are an experimental feature in rocFFT.

Callback function pointers/data are given as arrays, with one function/data pointer per device executing this plan. Currently, plans can only use one device.

The provided function pointers replace any previously-specified store callback for this execution info handle.

Store callbacks have the following signature:

void store_cb(T* data, size_t offset, T element, void* cbdata, void* sharedMem);

‘T’ is the type of a single element of the output buffer. It is the caller’s responsibility to ensure that the function type is appropriate for the plan (for example, a single-precision real-to-complex transform would store single-precision complex elements).

A null value for ‘cb’ may be specified to clear any previously registered store callback.

Currently, ‘shared_mem_bytes’ must be 0. Callbacks are not supported on transforms that use planar formats for either input or output.

Parameters:

info – [in] execution info handle
cb – [in] callbacks function pointers
cbdata – [in] callback function data, passed to the function pointer when it is called
shared_mem_bytes – [in] amount of shared memory to allocate for the callback function to use
