In addition, derivative values of these output values with respect to certain input values play a crucial role. To achieve code that computes not only the output values simultaneously but also the derivative values, this work introduces several source-to-source transformation rules. These rules are based on a technique called algorithmic differentiation. The main focus of this work lies on the important reverse mode of algorithmic differentiation. The inherent data-flow reversal of the reverse mode must be handled properly during the transformation. The first part of the work examines the transformations in a very general way since pragma-based parallel regions occur in many different kinds such as OpenMP, OpenACC, and Intel Phi. The second part describes the transformation rules of the most important OpenMP constructs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eIntroduction with Examples from Numerical Optimization\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlgorithmic Differentiation by Source Transformation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransformation rules for Parallel Code Regions (e.g. OpenMP 3.1)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStatic Program Analysis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTarget Groups \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eLecturers and students of computer science \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComputer scientists, engineers, mathematicians and numerical analysts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Author \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMichael Förster is currently Research Associate of the Institute Software and Tools for Computational Engineering, RWTH Aachen University.","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45274772275351,"sku":"9783658075965","price":3639.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783658075965.webp?v=1769280901","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/algorithmic-differentiation-of-pragma-defined-parallel-regions-differentiating-computer-programs-containing-openmp-9783658075965","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
