AIB 2011-06: dco/c++ - Derivative Code by Overloading in C++

The following technical report is available from http://aib.informatik.rwth-aachen.de: dco/c++ - Derivative Code by Overloading in C++ Johannes Lotz, Klaus Leppkes and Uwe Naumann AIB 2011-06 Algorithmic Differentiation is a widely used technique for computing derivatives of implemented mathematical functions. In this technical report we want to introduce the tool dco/c++ written by the authors implementing Algorithmic Differentiation by Overloading for C/C++. After a general picture of the capabilities dco/c++ provides, we show its performance with emphasis on adjoint computations in comparison to four other freely available overloading tools.
