Abstract

Various techniques in computational science and engineering benefit from accurate and efficient derivative computation. ADiMat is a software tool that transforms a numerical program written in MATLAB into another MATLAB programme for the computation of derivatives that are free from truncation error. We introduce a new and easy-to-use interface for ADiMat and present case studies from geophysics and fluid mechanics to quantify the performance of the code generated by ADiMat.
