Action

Stores the state of the checkpointing scheme after an action is taken. * actionflag is the next action * iteration is number of iterations for move forward * startiteration is the loop step to start from * cpnum is the checkpoint index number

ActionFlag

Each checkpointing algorithm currently uses the same ActionFlag type for setting the next action in the checkpointing scheme none: no action store: store a checkpoint now equivalent to TAKESHOT in Alg. 79 restore: restore a checkpoint now equivalent to RESTORE in Alg. 79 forward: execute iteration(s) forward equivalent to ADVANCE in Alg. 79 firstuturn: tape iteration(s); optionally leave to return later; and (upon return) do the adjoint(s) equivalent to FIRSTTURN in Alg. 799 uturn: tape iteration(s) and do the adjoint(s) equivalent to YOUTURN in Alg. 79 done: we are done with adjoining the loop equivalent to the terminate enum value in Alg. 79

ArrayStorage

Array (RAM) storage for checkpointing.

HDF5Storage

A storage type for checkpointing that uses HDF5 files to store the checkpoints.

Periodic

Periodic checkpointing scheme.

Revolve

This is a Julia adaptation of the functionality of Revolve; see Alg. 799 published by Griewank et al. A minor extension is the optional bundle parameter that allows to treat as many loop iterations in one tape/adjoint sweep. If bundle is 1, the default, then the behavior is that of Alg. 799.

Scheme

Abstract type from which all checkpointing schemes are derived.

@checkpoint_struct(
    alg,
    model,
    loop,
)

This macro is supposed to be only used in conjunction with ChainRules. It does not initialize the shadowcopy. Apply the checkpointing scheme alg on the loop loop expression. model is the primal struct. shadowmodel contains the adjoints and is created here. It is supposed to be initialized by ChainRules.
