Benchmark of several Julia autodiff packages (including Symbolics.jl)

The goal is to differentiate a log-likelihood function - the workhorse of probability theory, mathematical statistics and machine learning.

Here, it's the log-likelihood of a Gaussian mixture model:

normal_pdf(x::Real, mean::Real, var::Real) =
    exp(-(x - mean)^2 / (2var)) / sqrt(2π * var)

DiffEqFlux.jl (Julia) vs Jax on an Epidemic Model

The Jax developers optimized a differential equation benchmark in this issue which used DiffEqFlux.jl as a performance baseline. The Julia code from there was updated to include some standard performance tricks and is the benchmark code here. Thus both codes have been optimized by the library developers.

Results

torchdiffeq vs Julia DiffEqFlux Neural ODE Training Benchmark

The spiral neural ODE was used as the training benchmark for both torchdiffeq (Python) and DiffEqFlux (Julia) which utilized the same architecture and 500 steps of ADAM. Both achived similar objective values at the end. Results:

• DiffEqFlux defaults: 7.4 seconds
• DiffEqFlux optimized: 2.7 seconds
• torchdiffeq: 288.965871299999 seconds

Torchdiffeq vs DifferentialEquations.jl (/ DiffEqFlux.jl) Neural ODE Compatible Solver Benchmarks

Only non-stiff ODE solvers are tested since torchdiffeq does not have methods for stiff ODEs. The ODEs are chosen to be representative of models seen in physics and model-informed drug development (MIDD) studies (quantiative systems pharmacology) in order to capture the performance on realistic scenarios.

Summary

Below are the timings relative to the fastest method (lower is better). For approximately 1 million ODEs and less, torchdiffeq was more than an order of magnitude slower than DifferentialEquations.jl
