A modified split-radix fft with fewer arithmetic operations

Johnson, Steven G., Frigo, Matteo·2007·IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing

Abstract

Recent results by Van Buskirk have broken the record set by Yavne in 1968 for the lowest exact count of real additions and multiplications to compute a power-of-two discrete Fourier transform (DFT). Here, we present a simple recursive modification of the split-radix algorithm that computes the DFT with asymptotically about 6% fewer operations than Yavne, matching the count achieved by Van Buskirk's program-generation framework. We also discuss the application of our algorithm to real-data and real-symmetric (discrete cosine) transforms, where we are again able to achieve lower arithmetic counts than previously published algorithms

Statistics

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Unlike the DFT that can be self-factored to obtain FFT algorithms, we are generally unable to factorize the DVM to obtain a self-contained and radix-2 factorization, leading to an FFT-like algorithm.

    “Therefore, unlike the case of the DFT that can be self-factored to obtain FFT algorithms [19,20,21], we are generally unable to factorize the DVM to obtain a self-contained and radix-2 factorization, leading to an FFT-like algorithm.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
