docs: Move contributor manual to docs/src/contributor/
- Relocate docs/contributor/ to docs/src/contributor/ - Add three GPU quickstart guides (renamed from UPPERCASE to snake_case): - gpu_elasticity_quickstart.md - gpu_nodal_assembly_quickstart.md - quick_reference_gpu.md - Part of three-tier docs reorganization following Documenter.jl standard - All files now under docs/src/ for automatic rendering

## Design Decisions (One Page Summary)
|
||||
|
||||
### Q1: Which State Management Strategy?
|
||||
|
||||
**Answer:** Strategy 2 - Separate Mutable State (SoA)
|
||||
|
||||
**Why:** 10× better memory bandwidth (800-900 GB/s vs 50-100 GB/s)
|
||||
|
||||
### Q2: How to Eliminate Nested Newton + GMRES Loops?
|
||||
|
||||
**Answer:** Three-tier optimization
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Eisenstat-Walker** (now): Adaptive tolerance → 3× speedup
|
||||
2. **Matrix-Free NK** (Month 2): No assembly → 4× speedup
|
||||
3. **Anderson** (Month 3): Superlinear → 2.5× speedup
|
||||
|
||||
**Total: 9.8× speedup demonstrated!**
|
||||
|
||||
### Q3: How to Store Data for GPU?
|
||||
|
||||
**Answer:** Structure of Arrays (SoA) with reinterpret trick
|
||||
|
||||
```julia
|
||||
# Flat storage (GPU kernel)
|
||||
u_flat = zeros(3 * N_nodes)
|
||||
|
||||
# Physical semantics (high-level)
|
||||
u_vec3 = reinterpret(Vec{3,Float64}, u_flat)
|
||||
|
||||
# Access: u_vec3[5] returns Vec{3}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Data Layout
|
||||
|
||||
```julia
|
||||
# Hot (mutable)
|
||||
mutable struct AssemblyState{T}
|
||||
u::Vector{T}
|
||||
material_states::Vector{State} # Flat!
|
||||
end
|
||||
|
||||
# Cold (immutable)
|
||||
struct ElementGeometry
|
||||
connectivity::Matrix{Int32}
|
||||
node_coords::Matrix{Float64}
|
||||
end
|
||||
```
|
||||

|
||||
