EXAMPLE USAGE:

import numpy
from adolc import *
N = M = 10
A = numpy.zeros((M,N))
A[:] = [[ 1./N +(n==m) for n in range(N)] for m in range(M)]
def f(x):
    return numpy.dot(A,x)

# tape a function evaluation
ax = numpy.array([adouble(0) for n in range(N)])
trace_on(1)
independent(ax)
ay = f(ax)
dependent(ay)
trace_off()

x = numpy.array([n+1 for n in range(N)])

# compute jacobian of f at x
J = jacobian(1,x)

# compute gradient of f at x
if M==1:
    g = gradient(1,x)

THIS VERSION OF PYADOLC IS KNOWN TO WORK WITH:

  • Ubuntu Linux, Python 2.7.3, NumPy 1.8.0
  • Debian Stretch Linux, Python 2.7.13, NumPy 1.13.1
  • OSX 10.9 (Mavericks), Python 2.7.6, NumPy 1.8.0
  • OSX 10.11 (El Capitan), Python 2.7.11, NumPy 1.10.11
REQUIREMENTS:

INSTALLATION UBUNTU / DEBIAN (Stretch):

  • install boost-python via apt-get
  • install autotools-dev libtool libboost-all-dev
  • Use ./bootstrap.sh to download ADOL-C and ColPack and compile them.
  • Run python setup.py and follow the instructions

INSTALLATION OSX:

  • Run:

    brew install wget
    brew install automake
    brew install shtool
    brew install libtool
    brew install boost --with-python
    brew install boost-python
    brew install homebrew/science/adol-c
    
  • Run CC=clang CXX=clang++ python setup.py

You may have to run``brew link automake`` to generate symbolic links.

TEST YOUR INSTALLATION:

  • install nose, matplotlib, e.g., via pip install nose matplotlib
  • add pyadolc to your python path
  • run python -c "import adolc; adolc.test()". All tests should pass.
  • If anything goes wrong, please file a bug report.

Warning

If you run the test from the root folder of pyadolc you will get ImportError: No module named _adolc since it first looks in the local folder ./adolc before trying the other directories in your PYTHONPATH.

MANUAL INSTALLATION:

Follow the steps in ./bootstrap.sh and adapt if necessary.
