CuFFTPlan3D bugs? Are the dimensions reversed?

Accelerated Computing CUDA CUDA Programming and Performance

I’ve been having all sorts of problems trying to get the 3D FFT to work and give sensible answers. However, as soon as I reversed the dimensions and changed the plan to be:

 cufftPlan3d(&plan, NZ, NY, NX, CUFFT_R2C); // NX=512, NY=512, NZ=128

everything worked correctly, despite what the manual says (NX,NY,NZ).

So I can’t believe this hasn’t been noticed before. I thought I had the latest releases and documentation for CuFFT v1.1.

Anyone else had the same problem/solution?

Thanks,
Kiwiguy

It depends on whether your input is in row or column major, you can find more information about it on page 4 of the CUFFT v1.1 manual
