GenericFFT.jl
implements a Fast Fourier Transform for generic floating point number types.
The transforms provided have the right computational complexity. However, for the time being, the implementations are crude and far from optimal. Please consider contributing improvements to the package and filing issues for missing functionality.
Installation is straightforward:
pkg> add GenericFFT
julia> using GenericFFT
The main reason for using GenericFFT
is high-precision calculations. For example:
julia> using GenericFFT
julia> fft(rand(Complex{BigFloat}, 2))
2-element Vector{Complex{BigFloat}}:

The code in this package was developed in the FastTransforms.jl package by Mikael Slevinsky. The code was moved to a separate package in July 2022 from this file.
