ADOL-C
This new version of ADOL-C features new library functions for
- sparse Jacobians and sparse Hessians
- external differentiated functions
- optimal checkpointing
- adapted differentiation of fixed point iterations
- parallel differentiation of OpenMP-parallel loops
- Lie derivatives of scalar, vector and covector fields
and many bug fixes.
Furthermore the source code was adapted to allow a compilation with
WINDOWS compilers. See file "INSTALL" for generic installation
instructions and special instructions for the installation on a WINDOWS
platform.
The complete documentation can be found in the subdirectory "doc".
LOCAL INSTALLATION
==================
1. Type autoreconf -fi
2. Run configure with possibly using one of these options:
--prefix=PREFIX install library and header files in PREFIX
(default: ${HOME}/adolc_base)
--enable-sparse build sparse drivers [default=no]
--with-openmp-flag=FLAG use FLAG to enable OpenMP at compile time
[default=none]
--enable-docexa build documented examples [default=no]
--enable-addexa build additional examples [default=no]
--enable-parexa build parallel example [default=no], if yes
-with-openmp-flag=FLAG required
--with-cflags=FLAGS use CFLAGS=FLAGS (default: -g -O2)
--with-cxxflags=FLAGS use CXXFLAGS=FLAGS (default: -g -02 -std=c++11)
--with-boost=BOOST_PATH path to the compiled boost library, otherwise
the system one is chosen by default (if exists)
3. Type make
4. Type make install
By default, `make install' will install all the files in ${PREFIX}/lib and
${PREFIX}/include. You can specify another installation directory by using
the --prefix-option in the configure call.
This procedure provides all makefiles required in the approporate directories.
Execute 'configure --help' for more details on other available option.
Nonlocal installation
=====================
As mentioned in INSTALL one can configure the adolc package to be installed
in a different directory than "${HOME}/adolc_base" by using the "--prefix=PATH"
configure option. This is typically used for global installations. Common PATHs
are "/usr" and "/usr/local/", and others are known to be used. Fine control
over the installation directories can be gained by supplying additional
configure options. See "./configure --help" for details.
Completing the installation by executing "make install" requires write
permissions for all target directories. Make sure to have them or the result
may be surprising otherwise.
A global installation can be helpfull if many users need the library. By adding
the library's path to "/etc/ld.so.conf" the usage of LD_LIBRARY_PATH and the
"-L" link switch becomes unnecessary. In many cases, for instance for
PATH=/usr/local, the use of the -I directive for compiling sources becomes
unnecessary too.
Examples
========
Examples must be configured to build by using the configure switches
--enable-docexa or --enable-addexa.
They will never be installed by make install but can be found in the
appropriate example subdirectory.
Windows Compilation with MINGW
==============================
Please refer to INSTALL
Windows Compilation with Visual Studio
======================================
Please refer to the file windows/Readme_VC++.txt for building the library and
ADOL-C/examples/Readme_VC++.txt for the documented examples.
Unit tests
==========
ADOL-C provides more than 400 unit tests to verify its basic functionality.
For more information how to run the tests, please check the README file in ADOL-C/boost-test directory.
Enjoy this new version!
