ImplicitDifferentiation.jl Experimental ReverseDiff support

Experimental ReverseDiff support

Open gdalle opened this issue 2 years ago • 6 comments

Partial answer to #46

Problems:

Because of https://github.com/JuliaDiff/ReverseDiff.jl/issues/238, I was forced to dispatch the default rrule (with no RuleConfig) onto ReverseDiff, which seems arbitrary
Computing jacobians in the precompilation step of the ReverseDiff extension kills Julia brutally (it works in normal code)
ReverseDiff errors when byproducts are returned, and I don't know how to fix that

Gentle bump @mohamed82008 if you have comments to spare

I won't have a chance to look into this for the next 3 weeks unfortunately.

OK no worries, it's low priority

@mohamed82008 I'd love your take on this one if you have some time. I recently started using ReverseDiff more and I rather like it!

I have a deadline in a few days and a queue of people to get back to. I will take a look but probably won't be in the coming week.
