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 →
1D two-layer heat equation (MOL), 250 nodes per layer. Tests LRDE at FEM-scale discretization. Matrix solve cost (sparse LU of dim-500 tridiagonal) should start to appear in wall time.

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.
