I got a wrong result cuFFT: fft --> ifft,

Hi,

I’m trying to use cuFFT API.
So, I made a simple example for fft and ifft using cuFFT and I compared the result with MATLAB.
However, the result was totally different from MATLAB. I think MATLAB result is right.

I attach the source code and results.
If anyone has an idea, please let me know! thank you.

#define SIGNAL_SIZE_TEST 4
int main()
{
int _size = sizeof(cufftComplex) * SIGNAL_SIZE_TEST;
cufftComplex *x_t;

//Allocate host memory for the x(t)
x_t = (cufftComplex *)malloc(sizeof(cufftComplex) * SIGNAL_SIZE_TEST);

//Allocate host memory for the result(t)
cufftComplex *result = (cufftComplex *)malloc(_size);

x_t[0].x = 5;
x_t[1].x = 7;
x_t[2].x = 9;
x_t[3].x = 15;

x_t[0].y = 0;
x_t[1].y = 0;
x_t[2].y = 0;
x_t[3].y = 0;

//Allocate device memory for signal
cufftComplex *x_w;
checkCudaErrors(cudaMalloc((void **)&x_w, _size));

//Copy host memory to device
checkCudaErrors(cudaMemcpy(x_w, x_t, _size, cudaMemcpyHostToDevice));

//cufft plan
cufftHandle plan;
checkCudaErrors(cufftPlan1d(&plan, SIGNAL_SIZE_TEST, CUFFT_C2C, 1));

//FFT
printf("Transforming signal cufftexecC2C\n");
checkCudaErrors(cufftExecC2C(plan, x_w, x_w, CUFFT_FORWARD));

//Print-out the result of FFT
checkCudaErrors(cudaMemcpy(result, x_w, _size, cudaMemcpyDeviceToHost));
for(unsigned int i = 0; i<SIGNAL_SIZE_TEST; i++)
{
	printf("Real: %f,  imagi: %f \n", result[i].x, result[i].y);
}

//IFFT
checkCudaErrors(cufftExecC2C(plan, x_w, x_w, CUFFT_INVERSE));
//Copy device memory to host
printf("Copy device memory to host\n");
checkCudaErrors(cudaMemcpy(result, x_w, _size, cudaMemcpyDeviceToHost));

//Print-out the result of iFFT
for(unsigned int i = 0; i<SIGNAL_SIZE_TEST; i++)
{
	printf("Real: %f,  imagi: %f \n", result[i].x, result[i].y);
}

}

result

  1. cuda result :

input: [5+0i, 7+0i, 9+0i, 15+0i]
fft result : 36+0i, -4+8i, -8+0i, -4-8i
ifft result: 20+0i, 28+0i, 36+0i, 60+0i

  1. matlab result:
    input: [5+0i, 7+0i, 9+0i, 15+0i]
    fft result: 9+0i, -1-2i, -2+0i, -1+2i
    ifft result: [5+0i, 7+0i, 9+0i, 15+0i]

I’ve just answered the same question here:
