-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 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.
