QuantLibAdjoint

QuantLibAdjoint implements adjoint algorithmic differentiation (AAD) in QuantLib using TapeScript, an open source (Apache license) C++ library with support for scalar and vector AAD.

QuantLibAdjoint repository is a fork of the master QuantLib repository located at github.com/lballabio/QuantLib.

QuantLib, QuantLibAdjoint, and TapeScript are Non-Copylefted Free Software and OSI Certified Open Source Software.

The QuantLib project (http://quantlib.org) is aimed at providing a comprehensive software framework for quantitative finance. QuantLib is a free/open-source library for modeling, trading, and risk management in real-life.

Bugs can be reported at https://github.com/compatibl/QuantLibAdjoint/issues; if you have a patch for a bugfix or new feature, you can open a pull request instead.

TapeScript

TapeScript is an open source library for adjoint algorithmic differentiation (AAD) developed and maintained by CompatibL. It can be downloaded from github.com/compatibl/tapescript and used free of charge in academic or commercial applications.

TapeScript supports vector AAD (tape compression), an approach in which each slot of the calculation record (AAD tape) can store not only a single double number, but also an entire array of values. Vector AAD can lead to performance gain of several orders of magnitude due to the reduction of tape size.

TapeScript features:

  • Scalar AAD
  • Vector AAD (tape compression)
  • APIs for C++, C#, and Java
  • Complex numbers
  • Works with Boost and QuantLib
  • Multithreading support
