  Description     : Parallel NFFT software library based on MPI

PNFFT is a parallel NFFT software library based on MPI and distributed under 
GPL license. Contrary to Cartesian FFTs, non-uniform FFTs are much more 
expensive to compute and scale badly with increase of dimensionality. The 
PNFFT library allows for acceleration of computation time using 
multi-dimensional MPI distribution.

This package will be maintained by the Debian science team, alongside 
existing FFT libraries such as FFTW and NFFT. This software depends on the 
PFFT library, which is currently being packaged (see #761201).
