Abstract

This paper describes an approach to implementing and optimizing fast signal transforms. Algorithms for computing signal transforms are expressed by symbolic expressions, which can be automatically generated and translated into programs. Optimizing an implementation involves searching for the fastest program obtained from one of the possible expressions. In this paper we apply this methodology to the implementation of the Walsh-Hadamard transform. An environment, accessible from MATLAB, is provided for generating and timing WHT algorithms. These tools are used to search for the fastest WHT algorithm. The fastest algorithm found is substantially faster than standard approaches to implementing the WHT. The work reported in this paper is part of the SPIRAL project (see http:/ /www.ece.cmu.edu/~spiral), an ongoing project whose goal is to automate the implementation and optimization of signal processing algorithms.
