Researchers have developed a new method called solver-level differentiation for creating differentiable simulations. This approach differentiates the executed solver directly, rather than the converged equation or relying on memory-intensive unrolled automatic differentiation. The technique leverages the structure of block implicit updates, applying adjoint updates in reverse order to mirror the forward solver's local operations. This results in a reverse-sweep formulation that is significantly faster and more memory-efficient than existing methods, enabling the simulation of complex systems like elastodynamics with millions of bodies.
