+FFTW is a free collection of fast C routines for computing the
+Discrete Fourier Transform in one or more dimensions. It includes
+complex, real, symmetric, and parallel transforms, and can handle
+arbitrary array sizes efficiently. FFTW is typically faster than
+other publically-available FFT implementations, and is even
+competitive with vendor-tuned libraries. (See our web page for
+extensive benchmarks.) To achieve this performance, FFTW uses novel
+code-generation and runtime self-optimization techniques (along with
+many other tricks).
+
+This package provides the single precision library.
