abstract = "In the basic form of the reverse mode for calculating derivatives, the amount of
memory needed to record the intermediate values can become excessively large for problems of
practical interest. If sequential checkpointing schemes are used, the memory requirement can be
dramatically reduced, but the run time may be significantly increased. Implementing suitable
checkpointing schemes on multiprocessor systems can decrease the run time to its theoretical
minimum. Among the many possible scheduling strategies, we develop one that minimizes resource
requirements. We present different communication structures that depend on the memory architecture
of the multiprocessor system and the available resources. We also estimate the limits of the
complexity and the memory requirements of the problem function.",
