scipy.fft.set_global_backend(backend, coerce=False, only=False, try_last=False)[source]#

Sets the global fft backend

This utility method replaces the default backend for permanent use. It will be tried in the list of backends automatically, unless the only flag is set on a backend. This will be the first tried backend outside the set_backend context manager.

Parameters:

backend{object, ‘scipy’}: The backend to use. Can either be a str containing the name of a known backend {‘scipy’} or an object that implements the uarray protocol.
coercebool: Whether to coerce input types when trying this backend.
onlybool: If True, no more backends will be tried if this fails. Implied by coerce=True.
try_lastbool: If True, the global backend is tried after registered backends.

Raises:

ValueError: If the backend does not implement numpy.scipy.fft.

Notes

This will overwrite the previously set global backend, which, by default, is the SciPy implementation.

Examples

We can set the global fft backend:

>>> from scipy.fft import fft, set_global_backend
>>> set_global_backend("scipy")  # Sets global backend (default is "scipy").
>>> fft([1])  # Calls the global backend
