abstract = "In this document we discuss the data structure and algorithms for direct
application of recursive chain rules to numerical computations of partial derivatives in forward
mode. The proposed data structure providing constant time access to the partial derivatives
accelerates the automatic differentiation computations. We implemented the presented algorithms in a
software package, which simplifies automatic differentiation of functions represented by a computer
program. The library is available for public use and can be downloaded from
http://sal-cnc.me.wisc.edu. This manual contains detailed descriptions of all library functions and
several examples illustrating the applications and usage of the proposed automatic differentiation
software.",
