SolvSRK wins. At the comparison noise level, SolvSRK beats the best baseline by at least 10 percentage points of survival, or by at least 0.05 balanced score when survival is tied. Use SolvSRK for this class of problem. All verdicts →
Method-of-lines discretization of 2D heat equation on a 7×5 grid for two coupled thermal bodies (steel target ε=0.95, earth background ε=0.3) with T⁴ radiative boundary conditions and diurnal solar forcing (Q0=800 W/m², 24-hour cycle). Dirichlet BCs at domain edges (T=280 K). Second-order centered differences for Laplacian. Stiffness from radiation T⁴ coupling creates spatial stiffness ratios ~10³–10⁴.

At Clean, best balanced arm is SolvSRK.
Values are medians across seeds, measured by Resonix Labs on Resonix hardware and not independently verified; nfev and wall are on reference lab hardware (indicative). Under injected noise only SolvSRK and the SciPy arms are run. How we measure accuracy → · Verification status →
SolvScout · free
This page shows one published benchmark cell. SolvScout fingerprints your ODE, compares it to the full corpus, and recommends a solver with the same survival / precision / speed ranking you see here — including when a SciPy arm wins.
SolvSRK · 30-day trial
SolvSRK is the stiffness-adaptive integrator behind the SolvSRK column in these tables. Create an account, activate a machine, and take a 30-day trial — same binary you'd ship after purchase.
