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.
