Kurt Ostfeld updated MATH-732:
------------------------------
Attachment: Main.java
updated version of simple benchmark program that uses complex input data rather
than a real input.
> Major Speed Improvement to 1D Discrete Fourier Transform (approximately 5x-9x
> improvement). Preserved public API 100%. Removed unnecessary use of instance
> variables and instance state.

> I wrote my own Discrete Fourier Transform function in Java and ran some
> benchmarks and found that it ran dramatically faster than the Apache library
> implementation. This is a pretty straight forward implementation of the
> standard Cooley Tukey algorithm that I read out of a textbook. This passes
> all the Apache library test cases plus several I had written on my own. I
> created a source code library patch that preserves the public API completely
> while changing the internal implementation to achieve the performance
> improvement.
> In addition to the performance issue, I suggest that Discrete Fourier
> Transform functionality be provided as stateless pure functions (in Java this
> would be implemented with static methods) just like most other math
> functions. As-is, the library requires the user to instantiate a Transformer
> instance which maintains instance state, which is an unecessary complexity
> for a pure math function. I held off on this change since it would change the
> public API and affect existing code. However, I see similar backward
> compatability breaking API changes are already in the FastFourierTransformer
> class in the 3.0 code base.
