Hello,

all you need to do is to skip the tracing i.e. the region between trace_on and trace_off (including those two) and nothing else. Any of the subsequent calls (forward/reverse/gradient/sparse_jac) using the right tag will automatically load the correct tape from the disk. You don't need any other code changes.
