The Fadbad Speed Tests

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

FadbadDir
To run these tests, you must include the configure command line option
     FADBAD_DIR=
FadbadDir
during installation . After the Unix install make command, you can then run the Fadbad speed tests with the following commands (relative to the distribution directory):
 
	speed/fadbad/fadbad correct
This will check that the speed tests have been built correctly. You can run the command
 
	speed/fadbad/fadbad all
to see the results of all the speed tests. See speed_main for more options.
