Abstract
We are developing a FORTRAN 77 precompiler, named PADRE2, that is a tool for automatic differentiation. It reads in a set of Fortran subroutine/function subprograms that computes a (vector) value of a mathematical function, and it generates another set of subprograms that computes the values of the first-order and the second-order partial derivatives of the function as well as estimates of rounding errors accumulated in the computed values of the function. One of the unique features of our tool is the calculation of estimates of rounding errors accumulated in the values of the partial derivatives computed by automatic differentiation itself. A numerical experiment shows that these estimates are useful for setting up a stopping criterion in numerical algorithms for optimization.
