NVIDIA Warp
github.com/nvidia/warpPython framework for writing high-performance GPU simulation and graphics kernels with first-class automatic differentiation, enabling differentiable physics, molecular dynamics, soft-body and cloth simulation, robotics, and CFD adjoints compiled to CUDA; serves as the underlying engine for differentiable simulation projects like Newton and integrates with PyTorch, JAX, and OpenUSD (NVIDIA, 7.1K+ stars, Apache 2.0)
