search for: value_by_llvm

...for different values of the leaves (i.e. a forward sweep to compute the values followed by a reverse sweep to compute the derivatives, c.f. [*]). Here is where I was thinking to use LLVM. Instead of actually computing its value and derivatives, each node could feature two member functions value_by_LLVM and derivatives_by_LLVM which would produce the LLVM code necessary to respectively compute the value and the derivatives, each packaged as a function I guess. A visitor marching through the computational tree would then assemble the calls to those LLVM functions to compute the head (forwar...
