abstract

ADIFOR is a tool for the automatic differentiation of Fortran 77
programs. Given a Fortran 77 source code and a user's specification of
dependent and independent variables, ADIFOR will generate an
augmented derivative code that computes the partial derivatives of all of
the specified dependent variables with respect to all of the specified
independent variables in addition to the original result.

environment

The code ADIFOR produces is portable Fortran 77
and can run on any platform.
