Newman SPM 10D (Li-ion battery)

PARITYS2 · dim 10

No clear winner. The survival gap is under 10 percentage points and the balanced-score gap is under 0.05, so neither SolvSRK nor the best baseline clears the win threshold. Either works — choose on cost, licensing, or integration effort. All verdicts →

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 →

Profile your problem for 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

Run the winner on your machine

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.
