FFTX for Julia? (Spiral framework)

Specific Domains Signal and Image Processing

LBNL and CMU appear to have a project to use CMU’s Spiral framework to generate efficient FFT libraries for CPU’s, GPU’s, etc. It’s a more recent project than FFTW, and unlike FFTW, the libraries are BSD licensed.

Does anyone in the Julia community have experience with FFTX specifically or the Spiral framework in general? On paper, it would seem like combining the kernel generation of Spiral within Julia could be a good way to develop efficient exascale codes…

In my opinion, the more interesting thing would be to get a high quality FFT implementation in pure Julia. Julia’s metaprogramming should make generating really high quality kernels relatively painlessly.
