IEEE PCJS Milestone Dedication Ceremony for the First Demonstration of FFT
Room: 101, Bldg: Friend Center, Olden Street, Princeton, New Jersey, United States, 08544In 1964, a computer program implementing a highly-efficient algorithm for Fourier analysis was demonstrated at IBM Research. Developed through ideas contributed by a Princeton professor to IBM collaborators, the technique calculated Fourier Transforms at least two orders of magnitude faster than had been demonstrated previously. Named the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), its speed enabled numerous ...
