I need an output at every 'time' instance. Is there any 'pipelined' typ
FFT algoritms available that you know of?

I am going to have new data at every sample (im assuming i can run th
clock much faster than the sampling rate)... but at any rate, im thinkin
NlogN is still too many calculations unless i have some kind of pipeline
type structure.
