I'd suggest multi-core is the way to go.

Using the ideas given in
sect.21.10 (pp.438-439)
sect.22.5 (pp.451-454) [there especially sect.22.5.5]
of the fxtbook should lead to a multi-thread FFT which
can be made to work with external storage.
Note the float-FFT should be replaced by (e.g.)
3 NTTs (for the 3-primes algorithm).
Also look at sect.25.8 (pp.529-530):
the technique gave me a 50% speedup with
the multiplication for a high-precision
floating point library.
