Enzyme is a plugin that performs automatic differentiation (AD) of statically analyzable LLVM and MLIR.

Enzyme can be used by calling __enzyme_autodiff on a function to be differentiated as shown below. Running the Enzyme transformation pass then replaces the call to __enzyme_autodiff with the gradient of its first argument. ```c double foo(double);

double gradfoo(double x) { return _enzyme_autodiff(foo, x); } ```

Enzyme is highly-efficient and its ability to perform AD on optimized code allows Enzyme to meet or exceed the performance of state-of-the-art AD tools.

Detailed information on installing and using Enzyme can be found on our website: https://enzyme.mit.edu.

A short example of how to install Enzyme is below: cd /path/to/Enzyme/enzyme mkdir build && cd build cmake -G Ninja .. -DLLVM_DIR=/path/to/llvm/lib/cmake/llvm -DLLVM_EXTERNAL_LIT=/path/to/lit/lit.py ninja

Or, install Enzyme using a package manager:

Homebrew brew install enzyme Spack spack install enzyme Nix nix-shell -p enzyme
