       abstract = "We evaluate in parallel first-order derivatives given a sequential computer program
         of the function to be differentiated. Our parallel implementation of an automatic differentiation
         (AD) algorithm is based on a hierarchical approach. The parallel method is developed by considering
         as a parallel computational model a shared-memory paradigm. The performance of the derivative codes
         is evaluated by considering a SGI Origin 2000 and by using the OPENMP standard library. In our
         computational experiments, we have considered the {\em Flow in a Driven Cavity} function
         belonging to the MINPACK-2 test problem collection. The computational results show the performance
         gain of the parallel approach over both the sequential one and the stripmining technique.",
