GRADSOLVE: fast exact gradients for ODE ensembles on GPUs

GRADSOLVE is an open‑source JAX library that provides fast, exact reverse‑mode gradients for low‑dimensional ordinary differential equation (ODE) ensembles on NVIDIA GPUs. It records the accepted steps of an adaptive solver and differentiates a fixed‑step replay, yielding the exact discrete adjoint at a lower computational cost than traditional checkpointed methods. Benchmarks show that GRADSOLVE’s forward kernel is 2.8× faster than DiffEqGPU.jl, and its gradient computation is 5.6–14.1× faster than Diffrax’s checkpointed adjoint while maintaining matched forward‑state accuracy across multiple GPU generations.

Differentiate the Solver, Not the Equation: Reverse-Sweep Adjoints for Block Implicit Simulation

Differentiable simulation is a key component in learning, control, and inverse problems, where gradients through nonlinear implicit solvers are required. Existing approaches either rely on unrolled automatic differentiation, whose memory grows with solver depth, or on equation-level implicit differentiation, which assembles global Jacobians and solves large sparse adjoint systems, discarding the locality of the forward solver -- and differentiating the converged equation rather than the finite computation that actually ran.

Kernel Forge: An Agent Harness for LLM-based Generation and Optimization of CUDA Kernels

arXiv:2607. 24762v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Machine learning models are increasingly embedded in everyday software, and most of their runtime is spent in a small set of compute kernels such as matrix multiplication, convolution, and normalization.

Efficient Constant Optimization for Symbolic Regression with GPU-Accelerated Tree-Based Genetic Programming

The paper introduces a GPU-resident, batched Levenberg–Marquardt solver that efficiently optimizes constants in tree-based genetic programming for symbolic regression. By using reverse-mode automatic differentiation to assemble per-tree Jacobians in a single backward sweep, the solver’s per-iteration cost becomes independent of the number of constants per tree, achieving up to 510,000 trees per second on an NVIDIA A100. Integrated into EvoGP, the solver enables end-to-end search that recovers governing equations on 10 of 18 constructed problems, a significant improvement over stock EvoGP.

Mosaic: A Benchmark Suite for Differentiable Physics Solvers

arXiv:2606. 27895v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Differentiable partial differential equation (PDE) solvers underpin solver-in-the-loop ML training, gradient-based optimal control, and inverse problems, yet the practical cost of obtaining correct, usable gradients from a given solver on a given problem is largely undocumented.

Latent Generative Solvers for Generalizable Long-Term Physics Simulation

The paper introduces the Latent Generative Solver (LGS), a neural PDE solver that combines a Physics VAE, a Pyramidal Flow-Forcing Transformer, and input noising to achieve generalization across twelve PDE families and stable long-term rollouts. LGS matches or surpasses deterministic baselines on one-step predictions, outperforms them on 5- and 10-step rollouts, and significantly reduces long-horizon error while cutting compute costs. It also adapts efficiently to unseen higher-resolution systems, demonstrating strong empirical performance on 2D regular-grid PDE simulations.
