A New User Interface for ADiMat: Toward Accurate and Efficient Derivatives of Matlab Programs with Ease of Use

Abstract

Various techniques in computational science and engineering benefit from accurate and efficient derivative computation. ADiMat is a software tool that transforms a numerical program written in Matlab into another Matlab program for the computation of derivatives that are free from truncation error. We introduce a new and easy-to-use interface for ADiMat and present case studies from geophysics and fluid mechanics to quantify the performance of the code generated by ADiMat
