GSoC 2024 Projects Related To Clad

Clad enables automatic differentiation (AD) for C++. It is based on LLVM compiler infrastructure and is a plugin for Clang compiler. Clad is based on source code transformation. Given C++ source code of a mathematical function, it can automatically generate C++ code for computing derivatives of the function.

Project Proposals

• Enable reverse-mode automatic differentiation of (CUDA) GPU kernels using Clad

• Implement and improve an efficient, layered tape with prefetching capabilities

• Implement Differentiating of the Kokkos Framework

• Improve automatic differentiation of object-oriented paradigms using Clad

• Add support for consteval and constexpr functions in Clad
