Re: FFTW3.0.1 wisdom

[David Bateman]

Be careful here, because it might not be just processor dependent, but
also dependent on the amount of memory available. FFTW might use some
technique where it allocates large blocks of memeory to speed up FFT's
but if you use say wisdom generated on a machine with 512MB on one with
128MB uou might, even with the same processor you might be surprised...
These are just my speculations, I don't know what FFTW really does
internally .....
