This National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Program (CFDA 47.070) Project Grant award of $850,000 to the University of Illinois will develop the Enzyme software ecosystem, an open-source technology for automatically generating derivatives of arbitrary programs written in LLVM-based languages. The goal is to make it easier for scientists and engineers across domains to apply modern algorithms like neural networks to their existing applications without extensive recoding. The award will transform the existing Enzyme research prototype into a production-quality system, and establish an open-source community to maintain and advance the technology. Key activities include extensive user documentation, developer onboarding, vendor compiler integration, and community engagement through conferences, meetings, and tutorials. The project aims to significantly reduce the barriers to adopting machine learning and simulation techniques for a wide range of scientific computing applications.
