+1D Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) - NKI Implementation
+
+This module provides a hardware-accelerated 1D FFT implementation using the
+AWS Neuron Kernel Interface (NKI), optimized for AWS Trainium and Inferentia processors.
+
+Author:  Jim Burtoft
+
+Algorithm:
+    Radix-2 Cooley-Tukey FFT with 128-point DFT base case
+    - Base Case (width=128): Direct DFT matrix multiplication using Tensor Engine
+    - Recursive Case (width>128): Radix-2 decomposition with twiddle factors
+    - Height Handling: Automatic tiling with hardware-accelerated masking
+
+Hardware Optimization:
+    - Tensor Engine: Used for 128x128 DFT matrix multiplication (~90% of compute)
+    - SBUF Management: Efficient on-chip memory usage with minimal HBM traffic
+    - Computational Masking: Hardware-accelerated masking for arbitrary heights
+
+Supported Input Sizes:
+    - Height: 1 to 128 (any value in this range)
+    - Width: Powers of 2 from 128 to 4096 (128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096)
+
+Accuracy:
+    - Typical relative error: < 0.003% compared to NumPy reference
+    - Validated across 50+ size combinations on Trainium hardware
+
+Limitations:
+    - Height must be <= 128 (hardware constraint from tile size)
+    - Width must be a power of 2 and >= 128
+    - Only forward FFT (no inverse FFT)
+    - No normalization options
+    - Requires AWS Neuron device (Trainium/Inferentia)
+
+Usage Example:
+    import torch
+    from fft1d import fft1d
+    
+    # Create input tensor
+    x = torch.randn(64, 512, dtype=torch.float32)
+    
+    # Compute 1D FFT along rows (last dimension)
+    y = fft1d(x)
+    
+    print(f"Input shape: {x.shape}")   # torch.Size([64, 512])
+    print(f"Output shape: {y.shape}")  # torch.Size([64, 512])
+    print(f"Output dtype: {y.dtype}")  # torch.complex64
