Thermal-kinematic codes such as the ones presented here have been around for some time with various degrees of sophistication (for example [1], [2], [4], [5]). A recent effort in Julia, similar to this package, is described in [6].

As far as we are aware, source code of many older tools is not openly available in non-binary form, which makes direct implementation comparisons difficult. No existing package in this specific category combines 3D workflows with GPU acceleration in the same way.
