At Clean, best balanced arm is SciPy BDF · SolvSRK survival 100%.
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.
Replace the access date. Pin the freeze ID and library versions when comparing against a later export. Cite it as what it is — a self-reported vendor benchmark, not an independently verified result. The note field says so; please keep it.
