  abstract =     "The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm that calculates the Discrete 
                 Fourier Transform (DFT) is one of the major breakthroughs in scientific 
                 computing and is now an indispensable tool in a vast number of fields. 
                 Unfortunately, software that provide fast computation of DFT via FFT differ 
                 vastly in functionality and lack uniformity. A widely accepted Applications 
                 Programmer Interface (API) for DFT would advance the field of scientific 
                 computing significantly. In this paper, we present the specification of 
                 DFTI, a new interface that combines functionality with ease of use. This 
                 API is our strawman proposal towards a common interface for DFT calculations.",
