FFT
- 1D fast Fourier transforms require interchanges of widely-separated elements in the data sequence

- Communication intensive for distributed data
- Data parallel: may use special fast comm. hardware with appropriate data layout
- E.G., CMSSL routines on CM-200, CM-5
- Typically avoided in message passing programs
