Title: torch-sla: Differentiable Sparse Linear Algebra with Adjoint Solvers and Sparse Tensor Parallelism for PyTorch

Abstract:
arXiv:2601.13994v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Differentiable sparse linear algebra is foundational for scientific machine learning, yet PyTorch lacks a unified library for it: \texttt{torch.sparse} provides only low-level kernels and a non-differentiable, CPU-only \texttt{spsolve}, and \texttt{torch.linalg} is dense-only. We present \torchsla{}, an open-source library that fills this gap. It exposes a single autograd-aware API for direct, iterative, nonlinear, and eigenvalue solvers
