TL;DR : Writing an implicit Material Point Method solver. Would it be that much slower in Julia than C++ for a similar time-effort ? Hello, I am PhD student working on simulating creeping snow. I am currently planning …

I’m working with an ODE model. I’m looking for the periodic solution to a forced, non-conservative, non-linear and time-invariant oscillator. For example, something like x''(t) = - k (x(t) + 0.1 x^3(t)) - a x'(t) + A si…
