Bug#441693: ITP: djbfft -- extremely fast library for floating-point convolution

[Fabian Greffrath]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

Package Name:	djbfft
Version:	0.76
Upstream Author:	D. J. Bernstein
URL:	http://cr.yp.to/djbfft.html
License:	Public Domain
Programming Language:	C

  djbfft is an extremely fast library for floating-point convolution.
  The current version holds most of the speed records for
  double-precision FFTs on general-purpose computers.
  .
  djbfft provides power-of-2 complex FFTs, real FFTs at twice the
  speed, and fast multiplication of complex arrays. Single precision
  and double precision are equally supported.
