Avoids having
Dict{Int, Vector{ST}}whereSTis the type of the per-quadrature point state. This provides two main advantagesCurrent solutions stores an index vector (
Vector{Int}) which is used to translatecellnrtoidxinstate::ArrayOfVectorViews. This index vector could be the same for all domains as storage improvement, but currently isn't (just zero where not applicable). Also, the current implementation first creates theDicts, and then converts. But that is also just during construction and can be optimized later.Main downside is that when a user constructs a
Vector{ST}for their cell state, they will get a view instead (and possibly in the future into a different container for GPU support). So the user has to usestate::AbstractVector{ST}instead ofstate::Vector{ST}.
