dco/c++


Summary:
dco/c++ implements first- and higher-order tangent and adjoint Algorithmic Differentiation (AD) by operator overloading in C++. It combines a cache-optimized internal representation generated with the help of C++ expression templates with an intuitive application programmer interface (API). dco/c++ has been applied successfully to a growing number of numerical simulations in the context of computational science, engineering and finance, for example, large-scale parameter calibration and shape optimization.
