+# Multi-GPU MPI Krylov Solver Demonstration
+#
+# This script demonstrates a distributed FEM-like solver using:
+# 1. Nodal assembly pattern (row-by-row matrix construction)
+# 2. Multi-GPU setup with MPI communication
+# 3. Krylov iterative solver (Conjugate Gradient)
+# 4. Verification against exact solution
+#
+# Requirements:
+#   - CUDA-capable GPU on each MPI rank (optional, will use CPU if unavailable)
+#   - MPI installation
+#   - Run with: mpiexec -np 2 julia --project=. benchmarks/krylov_mpi_gpu_demo.jl
+#
+# KEY INSIGHT: Nodal assembly + type stability enables distributed GPU solving
