CHANGELOG

List of features / changes made / release notes, in reverse chronological order.
If not stated, FINUFFT is assumed (cuFINUFFT <=1.3 is listed separately).

Master, using release name V 2.4.0 (1/7/25)

* fully removed chkbnds option (opts and spreadopts) (Barnett)
* classic GNU makefile settings make.inc.* tidied to make-platforms/ (Barnett)
* unified separate-dim arrays (eg X,Y,Z->XYZ), simplifiying core (Reinecke #592)
* exit codes of many-vector tests now insensitive to one-mode randomness
  (Barnett)
* various bugfixes (DUCC+Python, Python dtype chk, Fortran opts)
* Large re-org of CPU lib code to remove C-style macros (Martin Reinecke)
  PR 558: de-macroize FFT (FFT plan now a class), and OMP funcs.
  PR 567: replace dual-pass compilation to .o and _32.o by C++ templating.
  - all FLT/CPX macros replaced by templating in main lib (not in test codes).
  - finufft_plan changed from struct to class, with setpts/exec methods.
  - spreadinterp reversed order of funcs to avoid fwd declarations.
  - finufft.cpp and defs.h replaced by finufft_core.{h,cpp}.
  PR 584: follow-up, more idiomatic C++.
  - simplify finufft_core internals via class members instead of struct fields.
  - all array allocations std::vectors or xsimd-aligned, removing FFT's allocs.
  - math consts such as PI change from macros to templated static consts.
  - C++ style error handling ("throw") replaces ier, except in C-API wrapper.
  - simpleinterfaces -> c_interfaces. Shorthands for types ("using f64=" etc).
  Note: tests still use macros (test_defs.h). And C++ interface will solidify.
* Single-argument spreading kernel Horner evaluator available for deconv step
  (onedim_* funcs), to unify ker eval. PR 541, Libin Lu. Not yet exploited.
* Simplify building of Python source distributions. PR 555 (J Anden).
* reduced roundoff error in a[n] phase calc in CPU onedim_fseries_kernel().
   PR534 (Barnett).
* GPU code type 1,2 also reduced round-off error in phases, to match CPU code;
  rationalized onedim_{fseries,nuft}_* GPU codes to match CPU (Barbone, Barnett)
* Added type 3 in 1D, 2D, and 3D, in the GPU library cufinufft. PR #517, Barbone
  - Removed the CPU fseries computation (used for benchmark, no longer needed)
  - Added complex arithmetic support for cuda_complex type
  - Added tests for type 3 in 1D, 2D, and 3D and cuda_complex arithmetic
  - Minor fixes on the GPU code:
    a) removed memory leaks in case of errors
    b) renamed maxbatchsize to batchsize
* Add options for user-provided FFTW locker (PR548, Blackwell). These options
  can be be used to prevent crashes when a user is creating/destroying FFTW
  plans and FINUFFT plans in threads simultaneously.

V 2.3.1 (11/25/24) minor update release (continued support on 2.3.X branch)

* Support and docs for opts.gpu_spreadinterponly=1 for MRI "density compensation
  estimation" type 1&2 use-case with upsampfac=1.0 PR564 (Chaithya G R).

V 2.3.0 (9/5/24)

* Switched C++ standards from C++14 to C++17, allowing various templating
  improvements (Barbone).
* Python build modernized to pyproject.toml (for both CPU and GPU).
  PR 507 (Anden, Lu, Barbone). Compiles from source for the local build.
* Switchable FFT: either FFTW or DUCC0 (latter needs no plan stage; also it is
  used to exploit sparsity pattern to achieve FFT speedups 1-3x in 2D and 3D).
  PR463, Martin Reinecke. Both CMake and makefile includes this DUCC0 option
  (makefile PR511 by Barnett; CMake by Barbone).
* ES kernel rescaled to max value 1, reduced poly degrees for upsampfac=1.25,
  cleaner Horner coefficient generation PR499 (fixes fp32 overflow issue #454).
* Major manual acceleration of spread/interp kernels via XSIMD header-only lib,
  kernel evaluation, templating by ns with AVX-width-dependent decisions.
  Up to 80% faster, dep on compiler. (Marco Barbone with help from Libin Lu).
  A large chunk (many weeks) of work: PRs 459, 471, 502.
  NOTE: introduces new dependency (XSIMD), added to CMake and makefile.
* Exploiting even/odd symmetry for 10% faster xsimd-accel kernel poly eval
  (Libin Lu based on idea of Martin Reinecke; PR477,492,493).
* new test/finufft3dkernel_test checks kerevalmeth=0 and 1 agree to tolerance
  PR 473 (M Barbone).
* new perftest/compare_spreads.jl compares two spreadinterp libs (A Barnett).
* new benchmarker perftest/spreadtestndall sweeps all kernel widths (M Barbone).
* cufinufft now supports modeord(type 1,2 only): 0 CMCL-style increasing mode
  order, 1 FFT-style mode order. PR447,446 (Libin Lu, Joakim Anden).
* New doc page: migration guide from NFFT3 (2d1 case only), Barnett.
* New foldrescale, removes [-3pi,3pi) restriction on NU points, and slight
  speedup at large tols. Deprecates both opts.chkbnds and error code
  FINUFFT_ERR_SPREAD_PTS_OUT_RANGE. Also inlined kernel eval code (increases
  compile of spreadinterp.cpp to 10s). PR440 Marco Barbone + Martin Reinecke.
* CPU plan stage allows any # threads, warns if > omp_get_max_threads(); or
  if single-threaded fixes nthr=1 and warns opts.nthreads>1 attempt.
  Sort now respects spread_opts.sort_threads not nthreads. Supercedes PR 431.
* new docs troubleshooting accuracy limitations due to condition number of the
  NUFFT problem (Barnett).
* new sanity check on nj and nk (<0 or too big); new err code, tester, doc.
* MAX_NF increased from 1e11 to 1e12, since machines grow.
* improved GPU python docs: migration guide; usage from cupy, numba, torch,
  pycuda. Docs for all GPU options. PyPI pkg still at 2.2.0beta.
* Added a clang-format pre-commit hook to ensure consistent code style.
  Created a .clang-format file to define a style similar to the existing style.
  Applied clang-format to all cmake, C, C++, and CUDA code. Ignored the blame
  using .git-blame-ignore-revs. contributing.md for devs. PR450,455, Barbone.
* cuFINUFFT interface update: number of nonuniform points M is now a 64-bit int
  as opposed to 32-bit. While this does modify the ABI, most code will just
  need to recompile against the new library as compilers will silently upcast
  any 32-bit integers to 64-bit when calling cufinufft(f)_setpts. Note that
  internally, 32-bit integers are still used, so calling cufinufft with more
  than 2e9 points will fail. This restriction may be lifted in the future.
* CMake build system revamped completely, using more modern practices (Barbone).
  It now auto-selects compiler flags based on those supported on all OSes, and
  has support for Windows (llvm, msvc), Linux (llvm, gcc) and MacOS (llvm, gcc).
* CMake added nvcc and msvc optimization flags.
* sphinx local doc build also using CMake. (Barbone)
* updated install docs, including for DUCC0 FFT and new python build.
* updated install docs (Barnett)
* Major acceleration effort for the GPU library cufinufft (M Barbone, PR488):
  - binsize is now a function of the shared memory available where possible.
  - GM 1D sorts using thrust::sort instead of bin-sort.
  - uses the new normalized Horner coefficients and added support for
    upsampfac=1.25 on GPU, for first time.
  - new compile flags for extra-vectorization, flushing single
    precision denormals to 0 and using fma where possible.
  -  using intrinsics (eg FMA) in foldrescale and other places to increase
    performance
  - using SM90 float2 vector atomicAdd where supported
  - make default binsize = 0
* overide single-output relative error by l2 relative error in exit codes of
  test/finufft?d_test.cpp to reduce CI fails due to random numbers on some
  platforms in single-prec (with DUCC, etc). (Barnett PR516)
* fix GPU segfault due to stream deletion as pointer not value (Barbone PR520)
* new performance-tracking doc page comparing releases (Barbone) #527
* fix various Py 3.8 wheel and numpy distutils logging issues #549 #545
* Cmake option to control -fPIC in static build; default now ON (as v2.2) #551

V 2.2.0 (12/12/23)

* MERGE OF CUFINUFFT (GPU CODE) INTO FINUFFT SOURCE TREE:
  - combined cmake build system via FINUFFT_USE_CUDA flag
  - python wrapper for GPU code included
  - GPU documentation (improving on cufinufft) added {install,c,python)_gpu.rst
  - CI includes GPU full test via C++, and python four styles, via Jenkins.
  - common spread_opts.h header; other code not yet made common.
  - GPU interface has been changed (ie broken) to more closely match finufft
  - cufinufft repo is left in legacy state at v1.3.
  - Add support for cuda streams, allowing for concurrent memory transfer and
    execution streams (PR #330)
  [coding lead on this: Robert Blackwell, with help from Joakim Anden]
* CMake build structure (thanks: Wenda Zhou, Marco Barbone, Libin Lu)
  - Note: the plan is to continue to support GNU makefile and make.inc.* but
    to transition to CMake as the main build system.
  - CI workflow using CMake on 3 OSes, 2 compilers each, PR #382 (Libin Lu)
* Docs: new tutorial content on iterative inverse NUFFTs; troubleshooting.
* GitHub-facing badges
* include/finufft/finufft_eitherprec.h moved up directory to be public (bea316c)
* interp (for type 2) accel by up to 60% in high-acc 2D/3D, by FMA/SIMD-friendly
  rearranging of loops, by Martin Reinecke, PR #292.
* remove inv array in binsort; speeds up multithreaded case by up to 50%
  but no effect on single-threaded. Martin Reinecke, PR #291.
* Fix memleak in repeated setpts (Issue #269); thanks Aaron Shih & Libin Lu.
* Fortran90 example via a new FINUFFT fortran module, thanks Reinhard Neder.
* made the C++ plan object (finufft_plan_s) private; only opaque pointer
  remains public, as should be (PR #233). Allows plan to have C++ constructs.
* fixed single-thread (OMP=OFF) build which failed due to fftw_defs.h/defs.h
* finally thread-safety for all fftw cases, kill FFTW_PLAN_SAFE (PR 354)
* Python interface: - better type checking (PR #237).
  - fixing edge cases (singleton dims, issue #359).
  - supports batch dimension of length 1 (issue #367).
* fix issue where repeated calls of finufft_makeplan with different numbers of
  requested threads would always use the first requested number of threads

CUFINUFFT v 1.3 (06/10/23) (Final legacy release outside of FINUFFT repo)

* Move second half of onedim_fseries_kernel() to GPU (with a simple heuristic
  basing on nf1 to switch between the CPU and the GPU version).
* Melody fixed bug in MAX_NF being 0 due to typecasting 1e11 to int (thanks
  Elliot Slaughter for catching that).
* Melody fixed kernel eval so done w*d not w^d times, speeds up 2d a little, 3d
  quite a lot! (PR#130)
* Melody added 1D support for both types 1 (GM-sort and SM methods) 2 (GM-sort),
  in C++/CUDA and their test executables (but not Python interface).
* Various fixes to package config.
* Miscellaneous bug fixes.

V 2.1.0 (6/10/22)

* BREAKING INTERFACE CHANGE: nufft_opts is now called finufft_opts.
  This is needed for consistency and fixes a historical problem.
  We have compile-time warning, and backwards-compatibility for now.
* Professionalized the public-facing interface:
  - safe lib (.so, .a) symbols via hierarchical namespacing of private funcs
    that do not already begin with finufft{f}, in finufft:: namespace.
    This fixes, eg, clash with linking against cufinufft (their Issue #138).
  - public headers (finufft.h) has all macro names safe (ie FINUFFT suffix).
    Headers both public and private rationalized/simplified.
  - private headers are in include/finufft/, so not exposed by -Iinclude
  - spread_opts renamed finufft_spread_opts, since publicly exposed and name
    must respect library naming.
* change nj and nk in plan to BIGINT (int64_t), new big2d2f perftest, fixing
  Issue #215.
* PDF manual moved from local to readthedocs.io hosting, Issue #221.
* Py doc for dtype fixed, Issue #216.
* spreadinterp evaluate_kernel_vector uses single arith when FLT=single.
* spread_opts.h fix duplication for FLT=single/double by making FLT->double.
* examples/simulplans1d1 demos ability to to wield independent plans.
* sped up float32 1d type 3 by 20% by using float32 cos()... thanks Wenda Zhou.

V 2.0.4 (1/13/22)

* makefile now appends (not replaces by) environment {C,F,CXX}FLAGS (PR #199).
* fixed MATLAB Contents.m and guru help strings.
* fortran examples: avoided clash with keywords "type" and "null", and correct
  creation of null ptr for default opts (issues #195-196, Jiri Kulda).
* various fixes to python wheels CI.
* various docs improvements.
* fixed modeord=1 failure for type 3 even though should never be used anyway
  (issue #194).
* fixed spreadcheck NaN failure to detect bug introduced in 2.0.3 (9566511).
* Dan Fortunato found and fixed MATLAB setpts temporary array loss, issue #185.

V 2.0.3 (4/22/21)

* finufft (plan) now thread-safe via OMP lock (if nthr=1 and -DFFTW_PLAN_SAFE)
  + new example/threadsafe*.cpp demos. Needs FFTW>=3.3.6 (Issues #72 #180 #183)
* fixed bug in checkbounds that falsely reported NU pt as invalid if exactly 1
  ULP below +pi, for certain N values only, egad! (Issue #181)
* GH workflows continuous integration (CI) in four setups (linux, osx*2, mingw)
* fixed memory leak in type 3.
* corrected C guru execute documentation.

CUFINUFFT v 1.2 (02/17/21)

* Warning: Following are Python interface changes -- not backwards compatible
  with v 1.1 (See examples/example2d1,2many.py for updated usage)

    - Made opts a kwarg dict instead of an object:
         def __init__(self, ... , opts=None, dtype=np.float32)
      => def __init__(self, ... , dtype=np.float32, **kwargs)
    - Renamed arguments in plan creation `__init__`:
         ntransforms => n_trans, tol => eps
    - Changed order of arguments in plan creation `__init__`:
         def __init__(self, ... ,isign, eps, ntransforms, opts, dtype)
      => def __init__(self, ... ,ntransforms, eps, isign, opts, dtype)
    - Removed M in `set_pts` arguments:
         def set_pts(self, M, kx, ky=None, kz=None)
      => def set_pts(self, kx, ky=None, kz=None)

* Python: added multi-gpu support (in beta)
* Python: added more unit tests (wrong input, kwarg args, multi-gpu)
* Fixed various memory leaks
* Added index bound check in 2D spread kernels (Spread_2d_Subprob(_Horner))
* Added spread/interp tests to `make check`
* Fixed user request tolerance (eps) to kernel width (w) calculation
* Default kernel evaluation method set to 0, ie exp(sqrt()), since faster
* Removed outdated benchmark codes, cleaner spread/interp tests

V 2.0.2 (12/5/20)

* fixed spreader segfault in obscure use case: single-precision N1>1e7, where
  rounding error is O(1) anyway. Now uses consistent int(ceil()) grid index.
* Improved large-thread scaling of type-1 (spreading) via transition from OMP
  critical to atomic add_wrapped_subgrid() operations; thanks Rob Blackwell.
* Increased heuristic t1 spreader max_subproblem_size, faster in 2D, 3D, and
  allowed this and the above atomic threshold to be controlled as nufft_opts.
* Removed MAX_USEFUL_NTHREADS from defs.h and all code, for simplicity, since
  large thread number now scales better.
* multithreaded one-mode accuracy test in C++ tests, t1 & t3, for faster tests.

V 2.0.1 (10/6/20)

* python (under-the-hood) interfacing changed from pybind11 to cleaner ctypes.
* non-stochastic test/*.cpp routines, zeroing small chance of incorrect failure
* Windows compatible makefile
* mac OSX improved installation instructions and make.inc.*

CUFINUFFT v 1.1 (09/22/20)

* Python: extended the mode tuple to 3D and reorder from C/python
  ndarray.shape style input (nZ, nY, nX) to to the (F) order expected by the
  low level library (nX, nY, nZ).
* Added bound checking on the bin size
* Dual-precision support of spread/interp tests
* Improved documentation of spread/interp tests
* Added dummy call of cuFFTPlan1d to avoid timing the constant cost of cuFFT
  library.
* Added heuristic decision of maximum batch size (number of vectors with the
  same nupts to transform at the same time)
* Reported execution throughput in the test codes
* Fixed timing in the tests code
* Professionalized handling of too-small-eps (requested tolerance)
* Rewrote README.md and added cuFINUFFT logo.
* Support of advanced Makefile usage, e.g. make -site=olcf_summit
* Removed FFTW dependency

V 2.0.0 (8/28/20)

* major changes to code, internally, and major improvements to operation and
  language interfaces.

	WARNING!: Here are all the interface compatibility changes from 1.1.2:
	- opts (nufft_opts) is now always passed as a pointer in C++/C, not
	  pass-by-reference as in v1.1.2 or earlier.
	- Fortran simple calls are now finufft?d?(..) not finufft?d?_f(..), and
	  they add a penultimate opts argument.
	- Python module name is now finufft not finufftpy, and the interface has
	  been completely changed (allowing major improvements, see below).
	- ier=1 is now a warning not an error; this indicates requested tol
	  was too small, but that a transform *was* done at the best possible
	  accuracy.
	- opts.fftw directly controls the FFTW plan mode consistently in all
	  language interfaces (thus changing the meaning of fftw=0 in MATLAB).
	- Octave now needs version >= 4.4, since OO features used by guru.

	These changes were deemed necessary to rationalize and improve FINUFFT
	for the long term.
	There are also many other new interface options (many-vector, guru)
	added; see docs.
* the C++ library is now dual-precision, with distinct function interfaces for
  double vs single precision operation, that are C and C++ compatible. Under
  the hood this is achieved via simple C macros. All language interfaces now
  have dual precision options.
* completely new (although backward compatible) MATLAB/octave interface,
  including object-style wrapper around the guru interface, dual precision.
* completely new Fortran interface, allowing >2^31 sized (int64) arrays,
  all simple, many-vector and guru interface, with full options control,
  and dual precisions.
* all simple and many-vector interfaces now call guru interface, for much
  better maintainability and less code repetition.
* new guru interface, by Andrea Malleo and Alex Barnett, allowing easier
  language wrapping and control of point-setting, reuse of sorting and FFTW
  plans. This finally bypasses the 0.1ms/thread cost of FFTW looking up previous
  wisdom, which slowed down performance for many small problems.
* removed obsolete -DNEED_EXTERN_C flag.
* major rewrite of documentation, plus tutorial application examples in MATLAB.
* numdiff dependency is removed for pass-fail library validation.
* new (professional!) logo for FINUFFT. Sphinx HTML and PDF aesthetics.

CUFINUFFT v 1.0 (07/29/20)
* Started by Melody Shih.

V 1.1.2 (1/31/20)

  interfaces in a clean way.
* fftw3_omp instead of fftw3_threads (on linux), is faster.
* rationalized header files.

V 1.0.1 (9/14/18)

* Ludvig's removal of omp chunksize in dir=2, another 20%+ speedup.
* Matlab doesn't change omp internal state.

V 1.0 (8/20/18)

* repo transferred to flatironinstitute
* usage doc simpler
* 2d1many and 2d2many interfaces by Melody Shih, for multiple vectors with same
  nonuniform points. All tests and docs for these interfaces.
* horner optimized kernel for sigma=5/4 (low upsampling), to go along with the
  default sigma=2. Cmdline arg to change sigma in finufft?d_test.
* simplified various int types: only BIGINT remains.
* clearer docs.
* remaining C interfaces, with opts control.

V 0.99 (4/24/18)

* piecewise polynomial kernel evaluation by Horner, for faster spreading esp at
  low accuracy and 1d or 2d.
* various heuristic decisions re whether to sort, and if sorting is single or
  multi-threaded.
* single-precision libs get an "f" suffix so can coexist with double-prec.

V 0.98 (3/1/18)

* makefile includes make.inc for OS-specific defs.
* decided that, since Legendre nodes code of GLR alg by Hale/Burkhardt is LGPL
  licensed, our use (not changing source) is not a "derived work", therefore
  ok under our Apache v2 license. See:
  https://tldrlegal.com/license/gnu-lesser-general-public-license-v3-(lgpl-3)

* made sort=1 in tests for xeon (used to be 0)
* removed mcwrap and python dirs
* changed name of py routines to nufft* from finufft*
* python interfaces doc, up-to-date. Removed ms,.. from type-2 interfaces.
* removed RESCALEs from lower dims in bin_sort, speeds up a few % in 1D.
* allowed NU pts to be currectly folded from +-1 periods from central box, as
  per David Stein request. Adds 5% to time at 1e-2 accuracy, less at higher acc.
* corrected dynamic C++ array allocs in spreader (some made static, 5% speedup)
* removed all C++11 dependencies, mainly that opts structs are all explicitly
  initialized.
* fixed python interface to have chkbnds.
* tidied MEX interface
* removed memory leaks (!)
* opts.modeord implemented and exposed to matlab/python interfaces. Also removes
  looping backwards in RAM in deconvolveshuffle.

V 0.95 (10/2/17)

* brought in JFM's in-package python wrapper & doc, create lib-static dir,
  removed devel dir.

V 0.9: (6/17/17)

* adapted adv4 into main code, inner loops separate by dim, kill
  the current spreader. Incorporate old ideas such as: checkerboard
  per-thread grid cuboids, compare speed in 2d and 3d against
  current 1d slicing. See cnufftspread:set_thread_index_box()
* added FFTW_MEAS vs FFTW_EST (set as default) opts flag in nufft_opts, and
  matlab/python interfaces
* removed opts.maxnalloc in favor of #defined MAX_NF
* fixed the 1-target case in type-3, all dims, to avoid nan; clarified logic
  for handling X=0 and/or S=0. 6/12/17
* changed arraywidcen to snap to C=0 if relative shift is <0.1, avoids cexps in
  type-3.
* t3: if C1 < X1/10 and D1 < S1/10 then don't rephase. Same for d=2,3.
* removed the 1/M type-1 prefactor, also in all test routines. 6/6/17
* removed timestamp-based make decision whether to rebuild matlab/finufft.cpp,
  since git clone creates files with random timestamp order!
* theory work on exp(sqrt) being close to PSWF. Analysis.
* fix issue w/ needing mwrap when do make matlab.
* makefile has variables customizing openmp and precision, non-omp tested
* fortran single-prec demos (required all direct ft's in single prec too!)
* examples changed to err rel to max F.
* matlab interface control of opts.spread_sort.
* matlab interface using doubles as big ints w/ correct typecasting.
* twopispread removed, used flag in spread_opts for [-pi,pi] input instead.
* testfinufft* use same integer type INT as for interfaces, typecast all %ld in
  printf warnings, use omp rand array filling
* INT64 for necessary size-setting arrays, removed all %lf printf warnings in
  finufft*
* all internal array indexing is BIGINT, switchable from long long to int via
  SMALLINT compile flag (default off, see utils.h)
* all integers in interfaces are type INT, default 64-bit, switchable to 32 bit
  by INTERGER32 compile flag (see utils.h)
* test big probs (speed, crashing) and decide if BIGINT is long long or int?
  slows any array access down, or spreading? allows I/O sizes
  (M, N1*N2*N3) > 2^31. Note June-Yub int*8 in nufft-1.3.x slowed things by
  factor 2-3.
* tidy up spreader to be BIGINT = long long compatible and test > 2^31.
* spreadtest parallel rand()
* sort flag passed to spreader via finufft, and test scripts check if Xeon
  (-> sort=0)
* opts in the manual
* removed all xk2, dNU2 sorted arrays, and not-needed dims y,z; halved RAM usage

V 0.8: (3/27/17)

* all kx2, dNU2 arrays removed, just done by permutation index when needed.
* MAC OSX test, makefile, instructions.
* matlab wrappers in 3D
* matlab wrappers, mcwrap issue w/ openmp, mex, and subdirs. Ship mex
  executables for linux. Link to .a
* matlab wrappers need ier output? yes, and internal omp numthreads control
  (since matlab's is poor)
* wrappers for MEX octave, instructions. Ship .mex for octave.
* python wrappers - Dan Foreman-Mackey starting to add something similar to
	https://github.com/dfm/python-nufft
* check is done before attempting to malloc ridiculous array sizes, eg if a
  large product of x width and k width is requested in type 3 transforms.

* global error codes
* made finufft routines & testers return error codes rather than exit().
* dumbinput test executable
* found nan returned error for nj=0 in type-1, fixed so returns the zero array.
* fixed type 2 to not segfault when ms,mt, or mu=0, doing dir=2 0-padding right
* array utils use pointers to make which vars they write to explicit.
* don't do final type-3 rephase if C1 nan or 0.
* finished all dumbinputs, all dims
* fortran compilation fixed
* makefile self-documents
* nf1 (etc) size check before alloc, exit gracefully if exceeds RAM
* integrate into nufft_comparison, esp vs NFFT - jfm did
* simple examples, simpler than the test drivers
* fortran link via gfortran, better fortran docs
* boilerplate stuff as in CMCL page

pre-V. 0.7: (Jan-Feb 2017)

* efficient modulo in spreader, done by conditionals
* removed data-zeroing bug in t-II spreader, slowness of large arrays in t-I.
* clean dir tree
* spreader dir=1,2 math tests in 3d, then nd.
* Jeremy's request re only computing kernel vals needed (actually
  was vital for efficiency in dir=1 openmp version), Ie fix KB kereval in
  spreader so doesn't wdo 3d fill when 1 or 2 will do.
* spreader removed modulo altogether in favor of ifs
* OpenMP spreader, all dims
* multidim spreader test, command line args and bash driver
* cnufft->finufft names, except spreader still called cnufft
* make ier report accuracy out of range, malloc size errors, etc
* moved wrappers to own directories so the basic lib is clean
* fortran wrapper added ier argument
* types 1,2 in all dims, using 1d kernel for all dims.
* fix twopispread so doesn't create dummy ky,kz, and fix sort so doesn't ever
  access unused ky,kz dims.
* cleaner spread and nufft test scripts
* build universal ndim Fourier coeff copiers in C and use for finufft
* makefile opts and compiler directives to link against FFTW.
* t-I, t-II convergence params test: R=M/N and KB params
* overall scale factor understand in KB
* check J's bessel10 approx is ok. - became irrelevant
* meas speed of I_0 for KB kernel eval - became irrelevant
* understand origin of dfftpack (netlib fftpack is real*4) - not needed
* [spreader: make compute_sort_indices sensible for 1d and 2d. not needed]
* next235even for nf's
* switched pre/post-amp correction from DFT of kernel to F series (FT) of
  kernel, more accurate
* Gauss-Legendre quadrature for direct eval of kernel FT, openmp since cexp slow
* optimize q (# G-L nodes) for kernel FT eval on reg and irreg grids
  (common.cpp). Needs q a bit bigger than like (2-3x the PTR, when 1.57x is
  expected). Why?
* type 3 segfault in dumb case of nj=1 (SX product = 0). By keeping gam>1/S
* optimize that phi(z) kernel support is only +-(nspread-1)/2, so w/ prob 1 you
  only use nspread-1 pts in the support. Could gain several % speed for same acc
* new simpler kernel entirely
* cleaned up set_nf calls and removed params from within core libs
* test isign=-1 works
* type 3 in 2d, 3d
* style: headers should only include other headers needed to compile the .h;
  all other headers go in .cpp, even if that involves repetition I guess.
* changed library interface and twopispread to dcomplex
* fortran wrappers (rmdir greengard_work, merge needed into fortran)

FINUFFT Started: mid-January 2017, building on nufft_comparison of J. Magland.
