Show HN: FFTN, faster than FFTW in 700 lines of C

I am playing around with using arrays of arbitrary dimension as framework for designing FFT implementations, as opposed to the more classical approach of tensor products and butterflies (too complicated in my opinion).

It turns out, that with a modern compiler, you do not need much complexity to make a really fast implementation. This implementation is for powers of 2, and optimized for arrays that do not fit in cache. I do think it would be better to use a higher-level language to implement other cases (e.g. n = 2^a * 3^b * 5^c, multiple small FFTs, higher-dimensional), so I am currently working on getting the SaC-compiler to generate this code.
