FFTW (Fastest Fourier Transform in the West) is a C subroutine library for computing the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) in one or more dimensions, of arbitrary input size, and of both real and complex data. For more info, visit http://fftw.org.

FFTW version 3.3.7 is available for use with both intel and gcc compilers. Two environment variables are created upon loading the fftw3/openmpi/gcc/64/3.3.7 module. $FFTWINCLUDE stores the include path for the headers. $FFTWDIR stores the linked library path.
Whether compiling for intel, pass the appropriate flags:
mpiicc my_project.c –o my_project –l fftw3 –I $FFTWINCLUDE –L $FFTWDIR
This will make sure that your program finds the fftw3.h header and the linked library.
The same can be done with gcc, but libm must also be linked:
mpicc my_project.c –o my_project –l fftw3 –I $FFTWINCLUDE –L $FFTWDIR -lm
