Algorithmic Differentiation for Domain Specific Languages

Understand

Algorithmic Differentiation (AD) can be used to automate the generation of derivatives in arbitrary software projects.

• This will generate maintainable derivatives, that are always consistent with the computation of the software.
• If a domain specific language (DSL) is used in a software the state of the art approach is to differentiate the DSL library with the same AD tool.
• The drawback of this solution is the reduced performance since the compiler is no longer able to optimize the e.g.
