GSoC 2026 Projects Related To Clad

Clad enables automatic differentiation (AD) for C++. It is based on LLVM compiler infrastructure and is a plugin for Clang compiler. Clad is based on source code transformation. Given C++ source code of a mathematical function, it can automatically generate C++ code for computing derivatives of the function.

Project Proposals

• Consolidate and advance the GPU infrastructure in Clad

• Clad as a first-class gradient engine in LibTorch

• Enable automatic differentiation of OpenMP programs with Clad

• Enable automatic differentiation of C++ STL concurrency primitives in Clad
