Run Multi-Threading Examples and Speed Tests

Purpose
Runs the CppAD multi-threading examples and timing tests:

build
We use build for the directory where you run the cmake command.

threading
If the cmake command output indicates that bthread, pthread, or openmp is available, you can run the program below with threading equal to bthread, pthread, or openmp respectively.

program
We use the notation program for
      example_multi_thread_
threading

Running Tests
You can build this program and run the default version of its test parameters by executing the following commands:
     cd 
build
     make check_
program
After this operation, in the directory
     
build/example/multi_thread/threading
you can execute the following commands: .
./
program a11c
./
program simple_ad
./
program team_example
./
program harmonic     test_time max_threads mega_sum
./
program multi_newton test_time max_threads \
     
num_zero num_sub num_sum use_ad

a11c
The examples a11c_openmp.cpp , a11c_bthread.cpp , and a11c_pthread.cpp demonstrate simple multi-threading, without algorithmic differentiation.

simple_ad
The examples simple_ad_openmp.cpp , simple_ad_bthread.cpp , and simple_ad_pthread.cpp demonstrate simple multi-threading, with algorithmic differentiation, using OpenMP, boost threads and pthreads respectively.

team_example
The team_example.cpp routine demonstrates simple multi-threading with algorithmic differentiation and using a team of threads .

harmonic
The harmonic_time routine preforms a timing test for a multi-threading example without algorithmic differentiation using a team of threads.

test_time
Is the minimum amount of wall clock time that the test should take. The number of repeats for the test will be increased until this time is reached. The reported time is the total wall clock time divided by the number of repeats.

max_threads
If the argument max_threads is a non-negative integer specifying the maximum number of threads to use for the test. The specified test is run with the following number of threads:
     
num_threads = 0 , ... , max_threads
The value of zero corresponds to not using the multi-threading system.

mega_sum
The command line argument mega_sum is an integer greater than or equal one and has the same meaning as in harmonic_time .

multi_newton
The multi_newton_time routine preforms a timing test for a multi-threading example with algorithmic differentiation using a team of threads.

test_time
Is the minimum amount of wall clock time that the test should take. The number of repeats for the test will be increased until this time is reached. The reported time is the total wall clock time divided by the number of repeats.

max_threads
If the argument max_threads is a non-negative integer specifying the maximum number of threads to use for the test. The specified test is run with the following number of threads:
     
num_threads = 0 , ... , max_threads
The value of zero corresponds to not using the multi-threading system.

num_zero
The command line argument num_zero is an integer greater than or equal two and has the same meaning as in multi_newton_time .

num_sub
The command line argument num_sub is an integer greater than or equal one and has the same meaning as in multi_newton_time .

num_sum
The command line argument num_sum is an integer greater than or equal one and has the same meaning as in multi_newton_time .

use_ad
The command line argument use_ad is either true or false and has the same meaning as in multi_newton_time .

Team Implementations
The following routines are used to implement the specific threading systems through the common interface team_thread.hpp :
team_openmp.cpp OpenMP Implementation of a Team of AD Threads
team_bthread.cpp Boost Thread Implementation of a Team of AD Threads
team_pthread.cpp Pthread Implementation of a Team of AD Threads
