ADIFOR 2.0 IN DEMAND VIA WEBThe ADIFOR 2.0 automatic differentiation system, available on the World Wide Web since July 1995 for non-commercial research and commercial evaluation, has been retrieved by more than 190 people worldwide. ADIFOR 2.0 consists of the ADIFOR 2.0 preprocessor, the ADIntrinsics 1.0 intrinsic handler system, and the SparsLinC 1.0 (Sparse Linear Combination) library. It offers full Fortran 77 support, flexible handling of Fortran intrinsics, and transparent sparsity support. The ADIFOR project was started in 1991 as a collaboration directed by CRPC researchers Chris Bischof at Argonne National Laboratory and Alan Carle at Rice University (see "Research Focus," Fall 1995 Parallel Computing Research). Bischof and Carle were awarded the 1995 Wilkinson Prize for Numerical Software for ADIFOR 2.0. The ADIFOR 2.0 User's Guide will be published by SIAM later this year. To obtain the ADIFOR 2.0 system or related documentation and reports, visit the ADIFOR web site at http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/autodiff/ADIFOR/ or http://www.cs.rice.edu/~adifor . Table of Contents |
