# GPU NodeSet MatVec Demo: NODAL ASSEMBLY for Krylov Methods
#
# Key insights:
# 1. JuliaFEM uses NODAL ASSEMBLY, not element assembly!
# 2. Loop over nodes, gather from connected elements
# 3. For Krylov (CG, GMRES), we need y = K*x (matvec)
# 4. Fields accessed through node_set (not passed separately)
# 5. This is TRULY general - no manual parameter extraction!
#
# Pattern:
#   for node in node_set.nodes
#       local_dofs = get_dofs(node)
#       # Gather from all elements connected to this node
#       y_local = compute_nodal_contribution(node, node_set.fields, x)
#       y[local_dofs] = y_local  # Direct write (no atomics!)

println("""
GMRES only needs matrix-vector products, not the matrix itself!

Traditional approach (WRONG for large problems):
    K = assemble_global_matrix(elements)  # O(N²) memory!
    y = K * x                              # Dense operation
    
Matrix-free approach (CORRECT):
    y = matvec(element_set, x)             # O(N) memory!
    # Computed by looping over elements, no global K

GMRES iteration:
    for iteration in 1:max_iterations
        # Build Krylov subspace using matvec
        v_new = matvec(element_set, v_old)  # ← Our GPU kernel!
        
        # Orthogonalize (Arnoldi)

        # Check convergence
        if residual < tolerance
            break
        end
    end

For contact mechanics + plasticity:
    - Update contact state (node-by-node)
    - Update material state (integration points)
    - Compute y = K_tangent * x using current state
    - No need to form K_tangent explicitly!

Our GPU kernel is PERFECT for this:
    1. Element-local computation (easy to parallelize)
    2. Fields accessed naturally (element_set.fields)
    3. Returns y vector (what GMRES needs)
    4. O(N) memory (no global matrix)

✓ TRULY GENERAL approach with NODAL ASSEMBLY:
  1. NodeSet contains nodes + elements + connectivity + fields
  2. Fields accessed via node_set.fields (no manual extraction!)
  3. GPU kernel loops over NODES (not elements!)
  4. Each node gathers from connected elements
  5. No race conditions (each node owns its DOFs)
  6. O(N) memory (no global matrix)

✓ For GMRES/CG:
  - Only need matvec operation (y = K*x)
  - No need to form or store K
  - Perfect for contact + plasticity (state-dependent K)
  - Scales to millions of DOFs

✓ Nodal assembly advantages:
  - node_set.fields.E  ✅ (constant material property)
  - node_set.fields.ν  ✅ (constant material property)
  - node_set.fields.u  ✅ (nodal displacement)
  - Contact forces natural (at nodes!)
  - Domain decomposition clean (node ownership)
  - No atomic operations needed on GPU

✓ Type stability:
  - NodeSet{F} has known field type F
  - Compiler generates optimal code
  - Zero runtime dispatch
  - GPU-compatible

This is the NODAL ASSEMBLY pattern for JuliaFEM v1.0!

🎯 Why nodal assembly?
  1. Contact mechanics is nodal (forces, constraints at nodes)
  2. Domain decomposition is nodal (clean node ownership)
  3. No atomic operations on GPU (each node owns its DOFs)
  4. Better cache locality (node data grouped together)
  5. Natural for adaptive refinement (local node operations)
