Speed Test Derivatives Using Adolc

Purpose
CppAD has a set of speed tests that are used to compare Adolc with other AD packages. This section links to the source code the Adolc speed tests (any suggestions to make the Adolc results faster are welcome).

AdolcDir
To run these tests, you must include the configure command line option
     ADOLC_DIR=
AdolcDir
during installation . After the Unix install make command, you can then run the Adolc speed tests with the following commands (relative to the distribution directory):
     speed/adolc/adolc correct 
seed
where seed is a positive integer see for the random number generator uniform_01 . This will check that the speed tests have been built correctly. You can run the command
     speed/adolc/adolc speed 
seed
to see the results of all the speed tests. See speed_main for more options.

C++ Compiler Flags
The C++ compiler flags used to build the Adolc speed tests are
     AM_CXXFLAGS   = -O2 -DNDEBUG $(CXX_FLAGS) -DADOLC
where CXX_FLAGS is specified by the configure command.
