These downloads are only intended for a quick test of the examples mentioned in Toy Problem and Case Studies. For regular use please download the source and build the binaries yourself.

To allow a quick trial we offer a prebuilt binary:

Linux on i386 (with glibc version 2.3 or higher) last generated on 2008-10-27

OpenAD_2008-10-27_lin.tgz

Download the <platform>.tgz file and unpack it, for example using
Simple Examples:
This will create a directory called OpenAD_binaries. To run the test examples:


where:

• <Fortran 90 compiler> is the Fortran9X compiler of your choice, e.g. NAG's f95 or Intel's ifort
• <C compiler> is the C compiler compatible to your Fortran9X compiler, e.g. gcc for f95 or icc for ifort
• <test> may be empty which executes all test examples or one of:  
  

  test problem	Tangent Linear Code	Split Adjoint Code	Joint Adjoint Code
  toy problem	toy_tlm	toy_adm_split	toy_adm_joint
  Flow in a Driven Cavity	fdc_tlm	fdc_adm_split	fdc_adm_joint
  Box Model	box_tlm	box_adm_split	box_adm_joint

   
For example, to create and run the toy problem adjoint code in split mode with the Intel compilers run:

    ./runExamples.sh -fc ifort -cc icc box_adm_split
 
which produces an output showing the result with divided first followed by the result for automatic differentiation:


The source code for the respective tests can be found in the OpenAD_binaries/examples/<test> directories. Each contains the test problem's source code in a file head.f and a driver in a file driver.f90. The shell script runExamples.sh copies the files into the OpenAD_binaries directory and invokes make (see also OpenAD_binaries/Makefile) which executes the transformation stages, compiles the necessary modules, the driver, and the transformed source code, and finally runs the test.These example codes can be used as a template for other experiments. For more information please refer to the sections listed in the left frame under "Technical Details".

Shallow Water Model:
The shallow water model code requires the netcdf library which supplied as a binary built with the Intel 8.0 compilers. Therefore this examples requires the Intel compilers to be installed. Assuming you are in the directory OpenAD_binaries
which invokes the original model
invokes the augmented model for gradient calculation with two level nested checkpointing and a hybrid between split and joint mode which brings down  the needed storage space at the expense of repeated recomputations.

If there are problems with the binaries due library and compiler inconsistencies please download the source code and build your own version. This has the added advantage of obtaining the most recent version as the binaries on this page cannot be updated for every code change
