after getting some good amount of positive feedback on our talk at boostcon we are now asking for a formal review process of the odeint library, currently hosted on github: https://github.com/headmyshoulder/odeint-v2
I found your page comparing performance with other Runge-Kutta implementations.

The documentation indicates you have support for various types of stepper.

Have you considered whether the odeint API could act as an interface to CVODE or CVODES in Sundials?
Good question. We have not checked this. But I don't see any point why one can not implement a odeint-compatible stepper wrapping CVODE or CVODES. Of course, there might be some subtle pitfalls with these packages which make the wrapper very complicated or inefficient. It is an interesting (and open) question.

If that works, then it validates the odeint API. If there are gaps or inefficiencies, then they may indicate improvements for odeint.
Thanks, Daniel
