Status

This file contains the current development status of different tools and objectives.

Tools

Checked items are built (where relevant) by CMake and can be run by run-all.ps1

C++

• Adept
  • Git submodule
  • Built using custom CMake
• ADOLC
  • Git submodule
  • Built using a batch file (to run msbuild) on windows
• Ceres
  • HunterGate packages
  • Built with shared libs
  • For GMM, relies on #define for d and k values, so multiple executables are built
• Finite
  • Computes numeric derivatives (finite differences) for comparison
  • No external dependencies
• Manual
  • Manually-differentiated C++ functions
  • No external dependencies
• Tapenade

Python

All Python tools use pip/conda modules. Dependencies for checked items are automatically fetched during CMake configure.

• Autograd
• Theano
• PyTorch
• Tensorflow

Matlab

Matlab tools are not currently run by run-all.ps1 due to the limitations of the Matlab free trial. With the full version, they should run correctly.

• ADiMat
  • Latest release downloaded into folder in /submodules/ (although not a submodule)
• MuPad

F#

• DiffSharp
  • Built using dotnet build, which restores NuGet packages

Julia

Dependencies for Julia-based tools are listed in JuliaProject.toml and automatically fetched during CMake configure.

• ForwardDiff.jl
• Zygote

Key

• x = Runs successfully
• x! = Generally runs successfully, but fails on some of the problem sizes
• ! = Has been attempted, with problems
• ? = Has been started, but is not complete
• - = Not attempted yet
• * = Not possible/no intention of doing
