3rd European Workshop on Automatic Differentiation

Prof. Christian Bischof (RWTH Aachen University)

Recent Activities in Automatic Differentiation and Beyond

Abstract:  In this talk, we report on recent activities in the development of automatic differentiation tools for Matlab and CapeML, a common intermediate language for process control, and highlight some recent AD applications. Lastly, we show the potential for parallelism created by AD and comment on the impact on scientific computing due to emerging multicore chips which are providing substantial thread-based parallelism in a "pizza box" form factor.
