Voici l'extrait d'un article donnant ces informations: For a 1024 point, complex, single precision FFT (i.e. just fits in the on-chip 8K D cache), we have a measured time of 96,000 cycles. For the various Alpha systems, this translates to: 133 MHz clock 722 microseconds 150 Mhz 640 microseconds 200 MHz 480 microseconds The algorithm is a radix-4 algorithm, and is basically just a C translation of the FORTRAN code in "DFT/FFT and Convolution Algorithms" by Burrus and Parks (with a few tweaks, of course). It was compiled with GCC 2.3 and the execution time was measured with the Alpha's process cycle counter. The Digital Extended Math Library (DXML) for Alpha reportedly can do even better, but I don't have any current performance numbers. For more info on DXML, contact your local Digital sales rep. [Nous devons le recevoir dans la pre-release prochaine]. For some more information on signal processing on Alpha, see our technical report "Are DSP Chips Obsolete?" [disponible chez nous].
