+In  this article, a  two-stage iterative  algorithm is  proposed to  improve the
+convergence  of  Krylov  based  iterative  methods,  typically  those  of  GMRES
+variants.  The  principle of  the  proposed approach  is  to  build an  external
+iteration over the  Krylov method, and to frequently  store its current residual
+(at each GMRES restart for instance).  After a given number of outer iterations,
+a least-squares minimization step is applied on the matrix composed by the saved
+residuals, in order  to compute a better solution and to  make new iterations if
+required.  It  is proven that the  proposal has the  same convergence properties
+than the  inner embedded  method itself.  Experiments  using up to  16,394 cores
+also  show that the  proposed algorithm  runs around  5 or  7 times  faster than
+GMRES.

+\section{Two-stage iteration with least-squares residuals minimization algorithm}

 \label{sec:03}
 A two-stage algorithm is proposed  to solve large  sparse linear systems  of the
 form  $Ax=b$,  where  $A\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times   n}$  is  a  sparse  and  square
 \label{sec:03}
 A two-stage algorithm is proposed  to solve large  sparse linear systems  of the
 form  $Ax=b$,  where  $A\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times   n}$  is  a  sparse  and  square

-nonsingular   matrix,   $x\in\mathbb{R}^n$    is   the   solution   vector   and
-$b\in\mathbb{R}^n$ is  the right-hand side.  The algorithm is implemented  as an
-inner-outer iteration  solver based  on iterative Krylov  methods. The  main key
-points of our solver are given in Algorithm~\ref{algo:01}.
-
-In order to accelerate the convergence, the outer iteration is implemented as an
-iterative  Krylov method  which minimizes  some  error functions  over a  Krylov
-subspace~\cite{saad96}. At  each iteration, the  sparse linear system  $Ax=b$ is
-solved   iteratively    with   an   iterative   method,    for   example   GMRES
-method~\cite{saad86} or  some of its variants,  and the Krylov  subspace that we
-used is spanned by a basis  $S$ composed of successive solutions issued from the
-inner iteration
-\begin{equation}
-  S = \{x^1, x^2, \ldots, x^s\} \text{,~} s\leq n.
-\end{equation} 
-The advantage  of such a Krylov subspace  is that we neither  need an orthogonal
-basis nor  any synchronization  between processors to  generate this  basis. The
-algorithm  is periodically  restarted every  $s$ iterations  with a  new initial
-guess $x=S\alpha$ which minimizes the residual norm $\|b-Ax\|_2$ over the Krylov
-subspace spanned by  vectors of $S$, where $\alpha$ is a  solution of the normal
-equations
-\begin{equation}
-  R^TR\alpha = R^Tb,
-\end{equation}
-which is associated with the least-squares problem
+nonsingular   matrix,   $x\in\mathbb{R}^n$    is   the   solution   vector,   and
+$b\in\mathbb{R}^n$ is  the right-hand side.  As explained previously, 
+the algorithm is implemented  as an
+inner-outer iteration  solver based  on iterative Krylov  methods. The  main 
+key-points of the proposed solver are given in Algorithm~\ref{algo:01}.
+It can be summarized as follows: the
+inner solver is a Krylov based one. In order to accelerate its convergence, the 
+outer solver periodically applies a least-squares minimization  on the residuals computed by  the inner one. %Tsolver which does not required to be changed.
+
+At each  outer iteration,  the sparse linear  system $Ax=b$ is  partially solved
+using only $m$ iterations of  an iterative method, this latter being initialized
+with the last obtained approximation.  GMRES method~\cite{Saad86}, or any of its
+variants, can potentially be used  as inner solver. The current approximation of
+the Krylov  method is then  stored inside  a $n \times  s$ matrix $S$,  which is
+composed by  the $s$  last solutions  that have been  computed during  the inner
+iterations phase.   In the remainder,  the $i$-th column  vector of $S$  will be
+denoted by $S_i$.
+
+At each $s$ iterations, another kind of minimization step is applied in order to
+compute a new  solution $x$. For that, the previous  residuals of $Ax=b$ are computed by
+the inner iterations with $(b-AS)$. The minimization of the residuals is obtained by  

 \begin{equation}
    \underset{\alpha\in\mathbb{R}^{s}}{min}\|b-R\alpha\|_2
 \label{eq:01}
 \end{equation}
 \begin{equation}
    \underset{\alpha\in\mathbb{R}^{s}}{min}\|b-R\alpha\|_2
 \label{eq:01}
 \end{equation}

-such  that $R=AS$  is a  dense rectangular  matrix in  $\mathbb{R}^{n\times s}$,
-$s\ll n$,  and $R^T$ denotes  the transpose of  matrix $R$. We use  an iterative
-method   to  solve   the  least-squares   problem~(\ref{eq:01})  such   as  CGLS

-direct method in the parallel context.
+with $R=AS$. The new solution $x$ is then computed with $x=S\alpha$.
+
+
+In  practice, $R$  is a  dense rectangular  matrix belonging in  $\mathbb{R}^{n\times s}$,
+with $s\ll n$.   In order  to minimize~\eqref{eq:01}, a  least-squares method  such as
+CGLS ~\cite{Hestenes52}  or LSQR~\cite{Paige82} is used. Remark that these  methods are more
+appropriate than a single direct method in a parallel context.

+Algorithm~\ref{algo:01} summarizes  the principle  of the proposed  method.  The
+outer iteration is inside the \emph{for} loop. Line~\ref{algo:solve}, the Krylov
+method is called  for a maximum of $max\_iter_{kryl}$  iterations.  In practice,
+we suggest to  set this parameter equal to the restart  number in the GMRES-like
+method. Moreover,  a tolerance  threshold must be  specified for the  solver. In
+practice, this threshold must be  much smaller than the convergence threshold of
+the  TSIRM algorithm  (\emph{i.e.}, $\epsilon_{tsirm}$).  We also  consider that
+after the call of the $Solve$ function, we obtain the vector $x_k$ and the error
+which is defined by $||Ax_k-b||_2$.
+
+  Line~\ref{algo:store},
+$S_{k \mod  s}=x_k$ consists in  copying the solution  $x_k$ into the  column $k
+\mod s$ of $S$.   After the minimization, the matrix $S$ is  reused with the new
+values of the residuals.  To solve the minimization problem, an iterative method
+is used. Two parameters are required  for that: the maximum number of iterations
+and the threshold to stop the method.
+
+Let us summarize the most important parameters of TSIRM:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item $\epsilon_{tsirm}$: the threshold to stop the TSIRM method;
+\item $max\_iter_{kryl}$: the maximum number of iterations for the Krylov method;
+\item $s$: the number of outer iterations before applying the minimization step;
+\item $max\_iter_{ls}$: the maximum number of iterations for the iterative least-squares method;
+\item $\epsilon_{ls}$: the threshold used to stop the least-squares method.
+\end{itemize}
+
+
+The  parallelization  of  TSIRM  relies   on  the  parallelization  of  all  its
+parts. More  precisely, except  the least-squares step,  all the other  parts are
+obvious to  achieve out in parallel. In  order to develop a  parallel version of
+our   code,   we   have   chosen  to   use   PETSc~\cite{petsc-web-page}.    For
+line~\ref{algo:matrix_mul} the  matrix-matrix multiplication is  implemented and
+efficient since the  matrix $A$ is sparse and since the  matrix $S$ contains few
+columns in  practice. As explained  previously, at least  two methods seem  to be
+interesting to solve the least-squares minimization, CGLS and LSQR.
+
+In the following  we remind the CGLS algorithm. The LSQR  method follows more or
+less the same principle but it takes more place, so we briefly explain the parallelization of CGLS which is similar to LSQR.

+\section{Convergence results}
+\label{sec:04}

 
 
 
 

+We can now claim that,
+\begin{proposition}
+\label{prop:saad}
+If $A$ is either a definite positive or a positive matrix and GMRES($m$) is used as solver, then the TSIRM algorithm is convergent. 
+
+Furthermore, let $r_k$ be the
+$k$-th residue of TSIRM, then
+we have the following boundaries:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item when $A$ is positive:
+\begin{equation}
+||r_k|| \leqslant \left(1-\dfrac{\alpha}{\beta}\right)^{\frac{km}{2}} ||r_0|| ,
+\end{equation}
+where $M$ is the symmetric part of $A$, $\alpha = \lambda_{min}(M)^2$ and $\beta = \lambda_{max}(A^T A)$;
+\item when $A$ is positive definite:
+\begin{equation}
+\|r_k\| \leq \left( 1-\frac{\lambda_{\mathrm{min}}^2(1/2(A^T + A))}{ \lambda_{\mathrm{max}}(A^T A)} \right)^{km/2} \|r_0\|.
+\end{equation}
+\end{itemize}
+%In the general case, where A is not positive definite, we have
+%$\|r_n\| \le \inf_{p \in P_n} \|p(A)\| \le \kappa_2(V) \inf_{p \in P_n} \max_{\lambda \in \sigma(A)} |p(\lambda)| \|r_0\|, .$
+\end{proposition}
+
+\begin{proof}
+Let us first recall that the residue is under control when considering the GMRES algorithm on a positive definite matrix, and it is bounded as follows:
+\begin{equation*}
+\|r_k\| \leq \left( 1-\frac{\lambda_{\mathrm{min}}^2(1/2(A^T + A))}{ \lambda_{\mathrm{max}}(A^T A)} \right)^{k/2} \|r_0\| .
+\end{equation*}
+Additionally, when $A$ is a positive real matrix with symmetric part $M$, then the residual norm provided at the $m$-th step of GMRES satisfies:
+\begin{equation*}
+||r_m|| \leqslant \left(1-\dfrac{\alpha}{\beta}\right)^{\frac{m}{2}} ||r_0|| ,
+\end{equation*}
+where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are defined as in Proposition~\ref{prop:saad}, which proves 
+the convergence of GMRES($m$) for all $m$ under such assumptions regarding $A$.
+These well-known results can be found, \emph{e.g.}, in~\cite{Saad86}.
+
+We will now prove by a mathematical induction that, for each $k \in \mathbb{N}^\ast$, 
+$||r_k|| \leqslant \left(1-\dfrac{\alpha}{\beta}\right)^{\frac{mk}{2}} ||r_0||$ when $A$ is positive, and $\|r_k\| \leq \left( 1-\frac{\lambda_{\mathrm{min}}^2(1/2(A^T + A))}{ \lambda_{\mathrm{max}}(A^T A)} \right)^{km/2} \|r_0\|$ when $A$ is positive definite.
+
+The base case is obvious, as for $k=1$, the TSIRM algorithm simply consists in applying GMRES($m$) once, leading to a new residual $r_1$ that follows the inductive hypothesis due, to the results recalled above.
+
+Suppose now that the claim holds for all $m=1, 2, \hdots, k-1$, that is, $\forall m \in \{1,2,\hdots, k-1\}$, $||r_m|| \leqslant \left(1-\dfrac{\alpha}{\beta}\right)^{\frac{km}{2}} ||r_0||$ in the positive case, and $\|r_k\| \leq \left( 1-\frac{\lambda_{\mathrm{min}}^2(1/2(A^T + A))}{ \lambda_{\mathrm{max}}(A^T A)} \right)^{km/2} \|r_0\|$ in the definite positive one.
+We will show that the statement holds too for $r_k$. Two situations can occur:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item If $k \not\equiv 0 ~(\textrm{mod}\ m)$, then the TSIRM algorithm consists in executing GMRES once. In that case and by using the inductive hypothesis, we obtain either $||r_k|| \leqslant \left(1-\dfrac{\alpha}{\beta}\right)^{\frac{m}{2}} ||r_{k-1}||\leqslant \left(1-\dfrac{\alpha}{\beta}\right)^{\frac{km}{2}} ||r_0||$ if $A$ is positive, or $\|r_k\| \leqslant \left( 1-\frac{\lambda_{\mathrm{min}}^2(1/2(A^T + A))}{ \lambda_{\mathrm{max}}(A^T A)} \right)^{m/2} \|r_{k-1}\|$ $\leqslant$ $\left( 1-\frac{\lambda_{\mathrm{min}}^2(1/2(A^T + A))}{ \lambda_{\mathrm{max}}(A^T A)} \right)^{km/2} \|r_{0}\|$ in the positive definite case.
+\item Else, the TSIRM algorithm consists in two stages: a first GMRES($m$) execution leads to a temporary $x_k$ whose residue satisfies:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item $||r_k|| \leqslant \left(1-\dfrac{\alpha}{\beta}\right)^{\frac{m}{2}} ||r_{k-1}||\leqslant \left(1-\dfrac{\alpha}{\beta}\right)^{\frac{km}{2}} ||r_0||$ in the positive case, 
+\item $\|r_k\| \leqslant \left( 1-\frac{\lambda_{\mathrm{min}}^2(1/2(A^T + A))}{ \lambda_{\mathrm{max}}(A^T A)} \right)^{m/2} \|r_{k-1}\|$ $\leqslant$ $\left( 1-\frac{\lambda_{\mathrm{min}}^2(1/2(A^T + A))}{ \lambda_{\mathrm{max}}(A^T A)} \right)^{km/2} \|r_{0}\|$ in the positive definite one,
+\end{itemize}
+and a least squares resolution.
+Let $\operatorname{span}(S) = \left \{ {\sum_{i=1}^k \lambda_i v_i \Big| k \in \mathbb{N}, v_i \in S, \lambda _i \in \mathbb{R}} \right \}$ be the linear span of a set of real vectors $S$. So,\\
+$\min_{\alpha \in \mathbb{R}^s} ||b-R\alpha ||_2 = \min_{\alpha \in \mathbb{R}^s} ||b-AS\alpha ||_2$
+
+$\begin{array}{ll}
+& = \min_{x \in span\left(S_{k-s+1}, S_{k-s+2}, \hdots, S_{k} \right)} ||b-AS\alpha ||_2\\
+& = \min_{x \in span\left(x_{k-s+1}, x_{k-s}+2, \hdots, x_{k} \right)} ||b-AS\alpha ||_2\\
+& \leqslant \min_{x \in span\left( x_{k} \right)} ||b-Ax ||_2\\
+& \leqslant \min_{\lambda \in \mathbb{R}} ||b-\lambda Ax_{k} ||_2\\
+& \leqslant ||b-Ax_{k}||_2\\
+& = ||r_k||_2\\
+& \leqslant \left(1-\dfrac{\alpha}{\beta}\right)^{\frac{km}{2}} ||r_0||, \textrm{ if $A$ is positive,}\\
+& \leqslant \left( 1-\frac{\lambda_{\mathrm{min}}^2(1/2(A^T + A))}{ \lambda_{\mathrm{max}}(A^T A)} \right)^{km/2} \|r_{0}\|, \textrm{ if $A$ is}\\
+& \textrm{positive definite,} 
+\end{array}$
+\end{itemize}
+which concludes the induction and the proof.
+\end{proof}
+
+%We can remark that, at each iterate, the residue of the TSIRM algorithm is lower 
+%than the one of the GMRES method.

-Larger experiments ....

 
 

-\begin{table*}
+In order to perform larger experiments, we have tested some example applications
+of PETSc. Those  applications are available in the ksp part  which is suited for
+scalable linear equations solvers:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item ex15  is an example  which solves in  parallel an operator using  a finite
+  difference  scheme.   The  diagonal  is  equal to  4  and  4  extra-diagonals
+  representing the neighbors in each directions  are equal to -1. This example is
+  used  in many  physical phenomena, for  example, heat  and fluid  flow, wave
+  propagation, etc.
+\item ex54 is another example based on 2D problem discretized with quadrilateral
+  finite elements. For this example, the user can define the scaling of material
+  coefficient in embedded circle called $\alpha$.
+\end{itemize}
+For more technical details on these applications, interested readers are invited
+to read  the codes  available in  the PETSc sources.   Those problems  have been
+chosen because they are scalable with many  cores which is not the case of other
+problems that we have tested.
+
+In  the  following   larger  experiments  are  described  on   two  large  scale
+architectures:  Curie and  Juqeen.  Both  these architectures  are supercomputer
+composed of 80,640 cores for Curie and 458,752 cores for Juqueen. Those machines
+are respectively hosted  by GENCI in France and  Jülich Supercomputing Centre in
+Germany. They belongs with other similar architectures of the PRACE initiative (
+Partnership  for Advanced  Computing in  Europe)  which aims  at proposing  high
+performance supercomputing architecture to enhance research in Europe. The Curie
+architecture is composed of Intel E5-2680  processors at 2.7 GHz with 2Gb memory
+by core. The Juqueen architecture is composed  of IBM PowerPC A2 at 1.6 GHz with
+1Gb memory per  core. Both those architecture are equiped  with a dedicated high
+speed network.
+
+
+In  many situations, using  preconditioners is  essential in  order to  find the
+solution of a linear system.  There are many preconditioners available in PETSc.
+For parallel applications all  the preconditioners based on matrix factorization
+are  not  available. In  our  experiments, we  have  tested  different kinds  of
+preconditioners, however  as it is  not the subject  of this paper, we  will not
+present results with many preconditioners. In  practise, we have chosen to use a
+multigrid (mg)  and successive  over-relaxation (sor). For  more details  on the
+preconditioner in PETSc please consult~\cite{petsc-web-page}.

+Table~\ref{tab:03} shows  the execution  times and the  number of  iterations of
+example ex15  of PETSc on the  Juqueen architecture. Different  numbers of cores
+are  studied ranging  from  2,048  up-to 16,383 with the two preconditioners {\it mg} and {\it sor}.   For those experiments,  the number  of components  (or unknowns  of the
+problems)  per core  is fixed  to 25,000,  also called  weak  scaling. This
+number can seem relatively small. In fact, for some applications that need a lot
+of  memory, the  number of  components per  processor requires  sometimes  to be
+small.
+
+
+
+In Table~\ref{tab:03}, we  can notice that TSIRM is always faster  than FGMRES. The last
+column shows the ratio between FGMRES and the best version of TSIRM according to
+the minimization  procedure: CGLS or  LSQR. Even if  we have computed  the worst
+case  between CGLS  and LSQR,  it is  clear that  TSIRM is  always  faster than
+FGMRES. For this example, the  multigrid preconditioner is faster than SOR. The
+gain  between   TSIRM  and  FGMRES  is   more  or  less  similar   for  the  two
+preconditioners.  Looking at the number  of iterations to reach the convergence,
+it is  obvious that TSIRM allows the  reduction of the number  of iterations. It
+should be noticed  that for TSIRM, in those experiments,  only the iterations of
+the Krylov solver  are taken into account.  Iterations of CGLS  or LSQR were not
+recorded but they are time-consuming. In general each $max\_iter_{kryl}*s$ which
+corresponds to 30*12, there are $max\_iter_{ls}$ which corresponds to 15.

+both preconditioners. This  can be explained by the fact that  when the number of
+cores increases the time for the least-squares minimization step also increases but, generally,
+when  the number  of cores  increases,  the number  of iterations  to reach  the
+threshold also increases,  and, in that case, TSIRM is  more efficient to reduce

+\end{table*}
+
+
+In  Table~\ref{tab:04},  some  experiments   with  example  ex54  on  the  Curie
+architecture are reported.  For this  application, we fixed $\alpha=0.6$.  As it
+can be seen in that Table, the size of the problem has a strong influence on the
+number of iterations to reach the  convergence. That is why we have preferred to
+change the threshold.  If we set  it to $1e-3$ as with the previous application,
+only one iteration is necessray  to reach the convergence. So Table~\ref{tab:04}
+shows the results  of differents executions with differents  number of cores and
+differents thresholds. As  with the previous example, we  can observe that TSIRM
+is faster than FGMRES. The ratio greatly depends on the number of iterations for
+FMGRES to reach the threshold. The greater the number of iterations to reach the
+convergence is, the  better the ratio between our algorithm  and FMGRES is. This
+experiment is  also a  weak scaling with  approximately $25,000$  components per
+core. It can also  be observed that the difference between CGLS  and LSQR is not
+significant. Both can be good but it seems not possible to know in advance which
+one will be the best.
+
+Table~\ref{tab:05} show a strong scaling experiment with the exemple ex54 on the
+Curie  architecture. So  in  this case,  the  number of  unknownws  is fixed  to
+$204,919,225$ and the number of cores ranges from $512$ to $8192$ with the power
+of two.  The  threshold is fixed to $5e-5$ and only  the $mg$ preconditioner has
+been tested. Here  again we can see that TSIRM is  faster that FGMRES. Efficiecy
+of each algorithms is reported. It  can be noticed that FGMRES is more efficient
+than TSIRM except with $8,192$ cores and that its efficiency is greater that one
+whereas the  efficiency of TSIRM is  lower than one. Nevertheless,  the ratio of
+TSIRM  with any  version  of the  least-squares  method is  always faster.  With
+$8,192$ cores when the number of iterations is far more important for FGMRES, we
+can see that it is only slightly more important for TSIRM.
+
+In  Figure~\ref{fig:02}  we report  the  number  of  iterations per  second  for
+experiments  reported in  Table~\ref{tab:05}.  This Figure  highlights that  the
+number of iterations per  seconds is more of less the same  for FGMRES and TSIRM
+with a little advantage for FGMRES. It  can be explained by the fact that, as we
+have previously explained, that the iterations of the least-sqaure steps are not
+taken into account with TSIRM.

+A novel two-stage iterative  algorithm has been proposed in this article,
+in order to accelerate the convergence Krylov iterative  methods.
+Our TSIRM proposal acts as a merger between Krylov based solvers and
+a least-squares minimization step.
+The convergence of the method has been proven in some situations, while 
+experiments up to 16,394 cores have been led to verify that TSIRM runs
+5 or  7 times  faster than GMRES.
+
+
+For  future  work, the  authors'  intention is  to  investigate  other kinds  of
+matrices, problems, and  inner solvers. The influence of  all parameters must be
+tested too, while other methods to minimize the residuals must be regarded.  The
+number of outer  iterations to minimize should become  adaptative to improve the
+overall performances of the proposal.   Finally, this solver will be implemented
+inside PETSc. This  would be very interesting because it would  allow us to test
+all the non-linear  examples and compare our algorithm  with the other algorithm
+implemented in PETSc.
