How To Install libspfft0 on Kali Linux

In this tutorial we learn how to install libspfft0 on Kali Linux. libspfft0 is Sparse 3D FFT library with MPI, OpenMP, CUDA / ROCm support

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install libspfft0 on Kali Linux.

What is libspfft0

libspfft0 is:

SpFFT was originally intended for transforms of data with spherical cutoff in frequency domain, as required by some computational material science codes. For distributed computations, SpFFT uses a slab decomposition in space domain and pencil decomposition in frequency domain (all sparse data within a pencil must be on one rank). If desired, the library can be compiled without any parallelization (MPI, OpenMP, CUDA / ROCm).
