The functions
and
are the dicrete cosine and inverse discrete cosine transforms of size N defined as:

for
and
for
.
The implementation is built upon one of the following libraries:
- FFTW (version 3.0.0 or higher)
- MKL (version 8.0.0 or higher)
- ACML (version 2.5.3 or higher).
- Note
- FFTW-based implementation is the fastest for powers of two. Furthermore, the second time you call the routine with the same size, the calculation is much faster due to many things were calculated and stored the first time the routine was called.

Achieving maximum runtime efficiency with the FFTW library on some computer architectures requires that data are stored in the memory with a special alignment (to 16-byte boundaries). The IT++ memory management functions and container classes do not generally allocate memory aligned this way, and as a result calling FFTW via the IT++ interface (i.e. the dct()/idct() function) may be slower than using the FFTW library directly. Therefore, FFTW users concerned about maximum possible performance may want to consider the possibility of calling the FFTW library and its memory management/allocation routines directly, bypassing the IT++ storage classes and the dct()/idct() interface to FFTW.
