SFFT IC Chip:




A VLSI implementation of SFFT: The chip implements a 746,496-point SFFT, in 0.6mm^2 of silicon area. At 0.66V, it consumes 0.4pJ/sample and has an effective throughput of 36GS/s. The chip implements an SFFT algorithm based on the paper [Allerton'13].

Additional details of the ASIC implementation can be found in:

SFFT FPGA Implementation:

A high-throughput FPGA implementation of SFFT: The implementation performs a million-point sparse Fourier Transform every 1.16 milliseconds andcan process streamed input data at 0.86GS/s. The FPGA implementation is based on the SFFT algorithm from the paper [SODA'12].
