Researchers have introduced Mosaic, a new benchmarking framework designed to evaluate differentiable partial differential equation (PDE) solvers. The framework standardizes gradient access across various solvers, packaging each as a component called Tesseract. An evaluation of 14 solvers revealed significant differences in computational cost and numerical conditioning, with some solvers being entirely incompatible with realistic tasks. Despite these practical barriers, the study found that most solvers converge to similar optima, suggesting that issues like memory limits and stability are more critical than gradient accuracy alone.
