37
+ mlx-nufft computes non-uniform fast Fourier transforms — types 1, 2 and 3, in
38
+ dimensions 1, 2 and 3 — on Apple-silicon GPUs via Metal/MLX, with a drop-in
39
+ mirror of the `finufft` Python API. It runs an fp32 GPU pipeline with the
40
+ precision-critical coordinate setup performed in double precision at plan time
41
+ ("crit64"), so it reaches fp64-grade accuracy on hardware that has no native
42
+ double precision.

+
44
+ > **Paper:** [`mlx-nufft.pdf`](mlx-nufft.pdf) — a technical report
45
+ > describing the method, accuracy, and performance (types 1/2/3 in 1/2/3D, the
46
+ > crit64 precision mechanism, and M1 / M5 Max benchmarks).
47
+ > Pin a tagged release rather than tracking `main`.
48
+
49
+ ## Install
50
+
51
+ Requires an Apple-silicon Mac (Metal/MLX). Install the release directly from
52
+ GitHub (not yet on PyPI):
53
+
54
+ ```bash
55
+ pip install "git+https://github.com/martinlachaine/mlx-nufft.git@v0.1.0"
56
+ ```
57
+
58
+ then `import mlx_nufft`. Dependencies are pinned (notably `mlx==0.31.2`).
59
+
60
+ For development — running the test/benchmark harness, which uses CPU `finufft`
61
+ and `scipy` as references:
62
+
63
+ ```bash
64
+ git clone https://github.com/martinlachaine/mlx-nufft && cd mlx-nufft
65
+ uv venv --python 3.13 .venv
66
+ uv pip install -p .venv/bin/python -e ".[dev]"
67
+ ```
68
+
69
+ Verify the install — run the full correctness suite (each test compares against
70
+ CPU `finufft` and/or an exact direct-summation oracle):
71
+
72
+ ```bash
73
+ .venv/bin/python harness/run_tests.py
74
+ ```
75
+
76
+ It prints a per-test pass/fail summary and exits non-zero on any failure. The
77
+ optional VkFFT backend test reports `SKIP` unless the bridge in
78
+ `vkfft_bridge/` is built.
79
+
80
+ ## Quickstart
81
+
82
+ A complete, copy-paste-runnable 2-D type-1 transform (M nonuniform points →
83
+ `N1 × N2` uniform Fourier modes):
84
+
85
+ ```python
86
+ import numpy as np
87
+ import mlx_nufft as finufft
88
+
89
+ rng = np.random.default_rng(0)
90
+ M, N1, N2 = 100_000, 256, 256
91
+ x = rng.uniform(-np.pi, np.pi, M) # coords in [-pi, pi)
92
+ y = rng.uniform(-np.pi, np.pi, M)
93
+ c = rng.standard_normal(M) + 1j * rng.standard_normal(M) # source strengths
94
+
95
+ fk = finufft.nufft2d1(x, y, c, (N1, N2), eps=1e-6) # -> (256, 256) complex
96
+ ```
97
+
98
+ A fuller runnable script (basic call, plan reuse, and a self-check against an
99
+ exact direct DFT — no `finufft` install needed) is in
100
+ [`examples/quickstart.py`](examples/quickstart.py):
101
+
102
+ ```bash
103
+ python examples/quickstart.py
104
+ ```
105
+
106
+ ## Usage
107
+
108
+ Drop-in `finufft` API (same call surface):
109
+
110
+ ```python
111
+ import mlx_nufft as finufft
112
+
113
+ fk = finufft.nufft2d1(x, y, c, (N1, N2), eps=1e-6) # all nufft{1,2,3}d{1,2,3}
114
+ plan = finufft.Plan(1, (N1, N2), n_trans=8, eps=1e-6)
115
+ plan.setpts(x, y)
116
+ fk = plan.execute(c)
117
+ ```
118
+
119
+ Native plan classes — `Type3Plan` (type-3 engine) and `Type1PlanND` /
120
+ `Type2PlanND` (dims 1–3):
121
+
122
+ ```python
123
+ from mlx_nufft import Type3Plan
124
+
125
+ # plan once (geometry-dependent setup cached), execute per call
126
+ plan = Type3Plan((x1, x2, x3), (s1, s2, s3), eps=1e-5, isign=+1)
127
+ f = plan.execute(c) # f[k] = sum_j c[j] exp(i*isign * s_k . x_j)
128
+ ```
129
+
130
+ `Type1PlanND` also offers a batched multi-strength execute over one shared
131
+ point spread, and a cheap re-point of a fixed-mode-box plan to new coordinates:
132
+
133
+ ```python
134
+ from mlx_nufft import Type1PlanND
135
+
136
+ plan = Type1PlanND((x, y), (N1, N2), eps=1e-5, isign=+1)
137
+ fk = plan.execute_batch(cs) # cs: (B, P) over the same points -> (B, N1, N2)
138
+ plan.set_sources((x2, y2), backend="gpu") # re-point without recompiling kernels
139
+ fk2 = plan.execute(c2)
140
+ ```
141
+
142
+ The double-single phase primitive is also exposed standalone, for callers with
143
+ a large-magnitude fp64 phase that cannot be reduced mod 2π in fp32 but want the
144
+ `cos`/`sin` on the GPU:
145
+
146
+ ```python
147
+ from mlx_nufft import expi, EXPI_MAX_PHASE
148
+
149
+ z = expi(phi) # device complex64 e^{i*phi}, phi an fp64 array
150
+ z = expi([a, b, c], isign=-1) # phase summed in double-single: e^{-i*(a+b+c)}
151
+ ```
152
+
153
+ An optional VkFFT-Metal FFT backend is selectable for the type-3 slab path
154
+ (`Type3Plan(..., fft_backend="vkfft")`, requires building the bridge in
155
+ `vkfft_bridge/`); MLX's FFT is the default. `vkfft_available()` reports whether
156
+ the bridge is built.
157
+
158
+ ## Documented differences from `finufft`
159
+
160
+ - Computation is fp32-grade (crit64): `eps` below 1e-6 clamps with a warning;
161
+ complex128 inputs are accepted and returned but transformed at fp32 grade.
162
+ - `modeord=1` (FFT ordering) is not implemented.
163
+ - 1D/2D type 3 run as degenerate slices of the 3D type-3 kernel.
164
+ - Plans hold points as plan state (`setpts`); `out=` and multi-vector
165
+ `(n_trans, ...)` shapes mirror finufft, and `Plan.execute_adjoint`
166
+ (finufft 2.5) is supported for all three types.
167
+
168
+ ## Layout
169
+
170
+ - `mlx_nufft/` — the library: `gpu_t3.py` (type-3 engine), `nd.py`
171

182
+
183
+ mlx-nufft is AI-assisted, human-directed research software. Its scope, numerical
184
+ requirements, validation strategy, acceptance criteria, and release decisions
185

186
+ test scaffolding, and documentation.
187
+
188
+ Generated code was not trusted by default. Every component was validated against
189
+ independent references — CPU FINUFFT, exact direct-summation oracles on small
190
+ problems, transform-convention and adjoint checks, full dimension/type coverage,
191
+ dtype/device behavior, and API-parity tests (see `harness/`).
192

+ mlx-nufft computes non-uniform fast Fourier transforms — types 1, 2 and 3, in
10
+ dimensions 1, 2 and 3 — on Apple-silicon GPUs via Metal/MLX, with a drop-in
11
+ mirror of the `finufft` Python API. It runs an fp32 GPU pipeline with the
12
+ precision-critical coordinate setup performed in double precision at plan time
13
+ ("crit64"), so it reaches fp64-grade accuracy on hardware that has no native
14
+ double precision.

18
+ > crit64 precision mechanism, and M1 / M5 Max benchmarks).
19
+ > Pin a tagged release rather than tracking `main`.
20
+
21
+ ## Install
22
+
23
+ Requires an Apple-silicon Mac (Metal/MLX). Install the release directly from
24
+ GitHub (not yet on PyPI):
25
+
26
+ ```bash
27
+ pip install "git+https://github.com/martinlachaine/mlx-nufft.git@v0.1.0"
28
+ ```
29
+
30
+ then `import mlx_nufft`. Dependencies are pinned (notably `mlx==0.31.2`).
31
+
32
+ For development — running the test/benchmark harness, which uses CPU `finufft`
33
+ and `scipy` as references:
34
+
35
+ ```bash
36
+ git clone https://github.com/martinlachaine/mlx-nufft && cd mlx-nufft
37
+ uv venv --python 3.13 .venv
38
+ uv pip install -p .venv/bin/python -e ".[dev]"
39
+ ```
40
+
41
+ Verify the install — run the full correctness suite (each test compares against
42
+ CPU `finufft` and/or an exact direct-summation oracle):
43
+
44
+ ```bash
45
+ .venv/bin/python harness/run_tests.py
46
+ ```
47
+
48
+ It prints a per-test pass/fail summary and exits non-zero on any failure. The
49
+ optional VkFFT backend test reports `SKIP` unless the bridge in
50
+ `vkfft_bridge/` is built.
51
+
52
+ ## Quickstart
53
+
54
+ A complete, copy-paste-runnable 2-D type-1 transform (M nonuniform points →
55
+ `N1 × N2` uniform Fourier modes):
56
+
57
+ ```python
58
+ import numpy as np
59
+ import mlx_nufft as finufft
60
+
61
+ rng = np.random.default_rng(0)
62
+ M, N1, N2 = 100_000, 256, 256
63
+ x = rng.uniform(-np.pi, np.pi, M) # coords in [-pi, pi)
64
+ y = rng.uniform(-np.pi, np.pi, M)
65
+ c = rng.standard_normal(M) + 1j * rng.standard_normal(M) # source strengths
66
+
67
+ fk = finufft.nufft2d1(x, y, c, (N1, N2), eps=1e-6) # -> (256, 256) complex
68
+ ```
69
+
70
+ A fuller runnable script (basic call, plan reuse, and a self-check against an
71
+ exact direct DFT — no `finufft` install needed) is in
72
+ [`examples/quickstart.py`](examples/quickstart.py):
73
+
74
+ ```bash
75
+ python examples/quickstart.py
76
+ ```
77
+
78
+ ## Usage
79
+
80
+ Drop-in `finufft` API (same call surface):
81
+
82
+ ```python
83
+ import mlx_nufft as finufft
84
+
85
+ fk = finufft.nufft2d1(x, y, c, (N1, N2), eps=1e-6) # all nufft{1,2,3}d{1,2,3}
86
+ plan = finufft.Plan(1, (N1, N2), n_trans=8, eps=1e-6)
87
+ plan.setpts(x, y)
88
+ fk = plan.execute(c)
89
+ ```
90
+
91
+ Native plan classes — `Type3Plan` (type-3 engine) and `Type1PlanND` /
92
+ `Type2PlanND` (dims 1–3):
93
+
94
+ ```python
95
+ from mlx_nufft import Type3Plan
96
+
97
+ # plan once (geometry-dependent setup cached), execute per call
98
+ plan = Type3Plan((x1, x2, x3), (s1, s2, s3), eps=1e-5, isign=+1)
99
+ f = plan.execute(c) # f[k] = sum_j c[j] exp(i*isign * s_k . x_j)
100
+ ```
101
+
102
+ `Type1PlanND` also offers a batched multi-strength execute over one shared
103
+ point spread, and a cheap re-point of a fixed-mode-box plan to new coordinates:
104
+
105
+ ```python
106
+ from mlx_nufft import Type1PlanND
107
+
108
+ plan = Type1PlanND((x, y), (N1, N2), eps=1e-5, isign=+1)
109
+ fk = plan.execute_batch(cs) # cs: (B, P) over the same points -> (B, N1, N2)
110
+ plan.set_sources((x2, y2), backend="gpu") # re-point without recompiling kernels
111
+ fk2 = plan.execute(c2)
112
+ ```
113
+
114
+ The double-single phase primitive is also exposed standalone, for callers with
115
+ a large-magnitude fp64 phase that cannot be reduced mod 2π in fp32 but want the
116
+ `cos`/`sin` on the GPU:
117
+
118
+ ```python
119
+ from mlx_nufft import expi, EXPI_MAX_PHASE
120
+
121
+ z = expi(phi) # device complex64 e^{i*phi}, phi an fp64 array
122
+ z = expi([a, b, c], isign=-1) # phase summed in double-single: e^{-i*(a+b+c)}
123
+ ```
124
+
125
+ An optional VkFFT-Metal FFT backend is selectable for the type-3 slab path
126
+ (`Type3Plan(..., fft_backend="vkfft")`, requires building the bridge in
127
+ `vkfft_bridge/`); MLX's FFT is the default. `vkfft_available()` reports whether
128
+ the bridge is built.
129
+
130
+ ## Documented differences from `finufft`
131
+
132
+ - Computation is fp32-grade (crit64): `eps` below 1e-6 clamps with a warning;
133
+ complex128 inputs are accepted and returned but transformed at fp32 grade.
134
+ - `modeord=1` (FFT ordering) is not implemented.
135
+ - 1D/2D type 3 run as degenerate slices of the 3D type-3 kernel.
136
+ - Plans hold points as plan state (`setpts`); `out=` and multi-vector
137
+ `(n_trans, ...)` shapes mirror finufft, and `Plan.execute_adjoint`
138
+ (finufft 2.5) is supported for all three types.
139
+
140
+ ## Layout
141
+
142
+ - `mlx_nufft/` — the library: `gpu_t3.py` (type-3 engine), `nd.py`
143
+ (`Type1PlanND`/`Type2PlanND`), `types12.py`, `dfmath.py` (the `expi` /
144
+ double-single primitive), `sizing.py` (kernel/grid sizing), `api.py` (the
145
+ `finufft`-compatible surface), `vkfft_backend.py`.
146
+ - `examples/` — runnable, dependency-light usage examples
147
+ (`quickstart.py`).
148
+ - `harness/` — correctness tests (`test_*.py`), the suite runner
149
+ (`run_tests.py`), the acceptance/benchmark runner, and the CPU-reference
150
+ oracle.
151
+ - `vkfft_bridge/` — optional VkFFT-Metal backend build.
