A multidimensional FFT is computed sequentially, over all axes, one axis at the time.

A problem with parallel FFTs is that, to fit in the memory of multiple processors,
39-
multidimensional arrays will be distributed along some, but not all, of its axes.

Consequently, parallel FFTs are computed as sequential (serial) transforms over

non-distributed axes, combined with global redistributions (using MPI) that
