Speed Test Derivatives Using Sacado

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

SacadoDir
To run these tests, you must include the configure command line option
     SACADO_DIR=
SacadoDir
during installation . After the Unix install make command, you can then run the Sacado speed tests with the following commands (relative to the distribution directory):
     speed/sacado/sacado correct 
seed
This will check that the speed tests have been built correctly. 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/sacado/sacado 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 Sacado speed tests are
     AM_CXXFLAGS   = -O2 -DNDEBUG  $(CXX_FLAGS) -DSACADO -DRAD_EQ_ALIAS
where CXX_FLAGS is specified by the configure command.
