libfftw3f-3-1-1a_upx.dll

[Geek@Play]

Found one of my boxes running normally but trying to download libfftw3f-3-1-1a_upx.dll and complaining that no url was specified for the download.  Since the apps were running normally, when (why) is libfftw3f-3-1-1a_upx.dll required to be in the app_info file?  It is in the CUDA section of app_info.

It's part of the standard project tool-kit, used by the stock applications for calculating Fast Fourier Transforms.

Stock apps always need it: some Lunatics tweaks, e.g. CUDA, still have it in place for CPU-fallback processing. Still other app_info.xml files - like some I've written in my time - list it for safety because it's easier than digging out Dependency Walker and testing it properly.

It's small, and it's ubiquitous. Easier to stick it in than risk failure by leaving it out.

Most recent download link was in Running SETI@home on an nVidia Fermi GPU.

OK, thanks for the info Richard.......
