> Parallel Fast Fourier Transformations
>
> Fast Fourier Transformations (FFT) are an extremely valuable tool for
> todays numerical scientists.  However they are often the key bottle  
> neck
> of the application when one tries to use a very large number of  
> processors.
>
> We will discuss key parallelisation strategies for parallel FFTs and
> will show how they perform across a range of HPC platforms.  We will
> discuss how the placement of the task onto the machine and the
> dimensions of the chosen processor grid can affect the performance of
> the FFT.
