+% *** Authors should verify (and, if needed, correct) their LaTeX system ***
+% *** with the testflow diagnostic prior to trusting their LaTeX platform ***
+% *** with production work. IEEE's font choices can trigger bugs that do ***
+% *** not appear when using other class files. ***
+% The testflow support page is at:
+% http://www.michaelshell.org/tex/testflow/
+
+
+
+% Note that the a4paper option is mainly intended so that authors in
+% countries using A4 can easily print to A4 and see how their papers will
+% look in print - the typesetting of the document will not typically be
+% affected with changes in paper size (but the bottom and side margins will).
+% Use the testflow package mentioned above to verify correct handling of
+% both paper sizes by the user's LaTeX system.
+%
+% Also note that the "draftcls" or "draftclsnofoot", not "draft", option
+% should be used if it is desired that the figures are to be displayed in
+% draft mode.
+%
+\documentclass[10pt, conference, compsocconf]{IEEEtran}
+% Add the compsocconf option for Computer Society conferences.
+%
+% If IEEEtran.cls has not been installed into the LaTeX system files,
+% manually specify the path to it like:
+% \documentclass[conference]{../sty/IEEEtran}
+
+
+
+
+
+% Some very useful LaTeX packages include:
+% (uncomment the ones you want to load)
+
+
+% *** MISC UTILITY PACKAGES ***
+%
+%\usepackage{ifpdf}
+% Heiko Oberdiek's ifpdf.sty is very useful if you need conditional
+% compilation based on whether the output is pdf or dvi.
+% usage:
+% \ifpdf
+% % pdf code
+% \else
+% % dvi code
+% \fi
+% The latest version of ifpdf.sty can be obtained from:
+% http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/oberdiek/
+% Also, note that IEEEtran.cls V1.7 and later provides a builtin
+% \ifCLASSINFOpdf conditional that works the same way.
+% When switching from latex to pdflatex and vice-versa, the compiler may
+% have to be run twice to clear warning/error messages.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+% *** CITATION PACKAGES ***
+%
+%\usepackage{cite}
+% cite.sty was written by Donald Arseneau
+% V1.6 and later of IEEEtran pre-defines the format of the cite.sty package
+% \cite{} output to follow that of IEEE. Loading the cite package will
+% result in citation numbers being automatically sorted and properly
+% "compressed/ranged". e.g., [1], [9], [2], [7], [5], [6] without using
+% cite.sty will become [1], [2], [5]--[7], [9] using cite.sty. cite.sty's
+% \cite will automatically add leading space, if needed. Use cite.sty's
+% noadjust option (cite.sty V3.8 and later) if you want to turn this off.
+% cite.sty is already installed on most LaTeX systems. Be sure and use
+% version 4.0 (2003-05-27) and later if using hyperref.sty. cite.sty does
+% not currently provide for hyperlinked citations.
+% The latest version can be obtained at:
+% http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/cite/
+% The documentation is contained in the cite.sty file itself.
+

+% *** GRAPHICS RELATED PACKAGES ***
+%
+\ifCLASSINFOpdf
+ % \usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}
+ % declare the path(s) where your graphic files are
+ % \graphicspath{{../pdf/}{../jpeg/}}
+ % and their extensions so you won't have to specify these with

+ % \DeclareGraphicsExtensions{.pdf,.jpeg,.png}
+\else
+ % or other class option (dvipsone, dvipdf, if not using dvips). graphicx

+ % \graphicspath{{../eps/}}
+ % and their extensions so you won't have to specify these with
+ % every instance of \includegraphics
+ % \DeclareGraphicsExtensions{.eps}
+\fi
+% graphicx was written by David Carlisle and Sebastian Rahtz. It is
+% required if you want graphics, photos, etc. graphicx.sty is already
+% installed on most LaTeX systems. The latest version and documentation can
+% be obtained at:
+% http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/required/graphics/
+% Another good source of documentation is "Using Imported Graphics in
+% LaTeX2e" by Keith Reckdahl which can be found as epslatex.ps or
+% epslatex.pdf at: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/info/
+%
+% latex, and pdflatex in dvi mode, support graphics in encapsulated
+% postscript (.eps) format. pdflatex in pdf mode supports graphics
+% in .pdf, .jpeg, .png and .mps (metapost) formats. Users should ensure
+% that all non-photo figures use a vector format (.eps, .pdf, .mps) and
+% not a bitmapped formats (.jpeg, .png). IEEE frowns on bitmapped formats
+% which can result in "jaggedy"/blurry rendering of lines and letters as
+% well as large increases in file sizes.
+%
+% You can find documentation about the pdfTeX application at:
+% http://www.tug.org/applications/pdftex
+
+
+
+
+
+% *** MATH PACKAGES ***
+%
+%\usepackage[cmex10]{amsmath}
+% A popular package from the American Mathematical Society that provides
+% many useful and powerful commands for dealing with mathematics. If using
+% it, be sure to load this package with the cmex10 option to ensure that
+% only type 1 fonts will utilized at all point sizes. Without this option,
+% it is possible that some math symbols, particularly those within
+% footnotes, will be rendered in bitmap form which will result in a
+% document that can not be IEEE Xplore compliant!
+%
+% Also, note that the amsmath package sets \interdisplaylinepenalty to 10000
+% thus preventing page breaks from occurring within multiline equations. Use:
+%\interdisplaylinepenalty=2500
+% after loading amsmath to restore such page breaks as IEEEtran.cls normally
+% does. amsmath.sty is already installed on most LaTeX systems. The latest
+% version and documentation can be obtained at:
+% http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/required/amslatex/math/
+
+
+
+
+
+% *** SPECIALIZED LIST PACKAGES ***
+%
+%\usepackage{algorithmic}
+% algorithmic.sty was written by Peter Williams and Rogerio Brito.
+% This package provides an algorithmic environment fo describing algorithms.
+% You can use the algorithmic environment in-text or within a figure
+% environment to provide for a floating algorithm. Do NOT use the algorithm
+% floating environment provided by algorithm.sty (by the same authors) or
+% algorithm2e.sty (by Christophe Fiorio) as IEEE does not use dedicated
+% algorithm float types and packages that provide these will not provide
+% correct IEEE style captions. The latest version and documentation of
+% algorithmic.sty can be obtained at:
+% http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/algorithms/
+% There is also a support site at:
+% http://algorithms.berlios.de/index.html
+% Also of interest may be the (relatively newer and more customizable)
+% algorithmicx.sty package by Szasz Janos:
+% http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/algorithmicx/
+
+
+
+
+% *** ALIGNMENT PACKAGES ***
+%
+%\usepackage{array}
+% Frank Mittelbach's and David Carlisle's array.sty patches and improves
+% the standard LaTeX2e array and tabular environments to provide better
+% appearance and additional user controls. As the default LaTeX2e table
+% generation code is lacking to the point of almost being broken with
+% respect to the quality of the end results, all users are strongly
+% advised to use an enhanced (at the very least that provided by array.sty)
+% set of table tools. array.sty is already installed on most systems. The
+% latest version and documentation can be obtained at:
+% http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/required/tools/
+
+
+%\usepackage{mdwmath}
+%\usepackage{mdwtab}
+% Also highly recommended is Mark Wooding's extremely powerful MDW tools,
+% especially mdwmath.sty and mdwtab.sty which are used to format equations
+% and tables, respectively. The MDWtools set is already installed on most
+% LaTeX systems. The lastest version and documentation is available at:
+% http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/mdwtools/
+
+
+% IEEEtran contains the IEEEeqnarray family of commands that can be used to
+% generate multiline equations as well as matrices, tables, etc., of high
+% quality.
+
+
+%\usepackage{eqparbox}
+% Also of notable interest is Scott Pakin's eqparbox package for creating
+% (automatically sized) equal width boxes - aka "natural width parboxes".
+% Available at:
+% http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/eqparbox/
+
+
+
+
+
+% *** SUBFIGURE PACKAGES ***
+%\usepackage[tight,footnotesize]{subfigure}
+% subfigure.sty was written by Steven Douglas Cochran. This package makes it
+% easy to put subfigures in your figures. e.g., "Figure 1a and 1b". For IEEE
+% work, it is a good idea to load it with the tight package option to reduce
+% the amount of white space around the subfigures. subfigure.sty is already
+% installed on most LaTeX systems. The latest version and documentation can
+% be obtained at:
+% http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/obsolete/macros/latex/contrib/subfigure/
+% subfigure.sty has been superceeded by subfig.sty.
+
+
+
+%\usepackage[caption=false]{caption}
+%\usepackage[font=footnotesize]{subfig}
+% subfig.sty, also written by Steven Douglas Cochran, is the modern
+% replacement for subfigure.sty. However, subfig.sty requires and
+% automatically loads Axel Sommerfeldt's caption.sty which will override
+% IEEEtran.cls handling of captions and this will result in nonIEEE style
+% figure/table captions. To prevent this problem, be sure and preload
+% caption.sty with its "caption=false" package option. This is will preserve
+% IEEEtran.cls handing of captions. Version 1.3 (2005/06/28) and later
+% (recommended due to many improvements over 1.2) of subfig.sty supports
+% the caption=false option directly:
+%\usepackage[caption=false,font=footnotesize]{subfig}
+%
+% The latest version and documentation can be obtained at:
+% http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/subfig/
+% The latest version and documentation of caption.sty can be obtained at:
+% http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/caption/
+
+
+
+
+% *** FLOAT PACKAGES ***
+%
+%\usepackage{fixltx2e}
+% fixltx2e, the successor to the earlier fix2col.sty, was written by
+% Frank Mittelbach and David Carlisle. This package corrects a few problems
+% in the LaTeX2e kernel, the most notable of which is that in current
+% LaTeX2e releases, the ordering of single and double column floats is not
+% guaranteed to be preserved. Thus, an unpatched LaTeX2e can allow a
+% single column figure to be placed prior to an earlier double column
+% figure. The latest version and documentation can be found at:
+% http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/base/
+
+
+
+%\usepackage{stfloats}
+% stfloats.sty was written by Sigitas Tolusis. This package gives LaTeX2e
+% the ability to do double column floats at the bottom of the page as well
+% as the top. (e.g., "\begin{figure*}[!b]" is not normally possible in
+% LaTeX2e). It also provides a command:
+%\fnbelowfloat
+% to enable the placement of footnotes below bottom floats (the standard
+% LaTeX2e kernel puts them above bottom floats). This is an invasive package
+% which rewrites many portions of the LaTeX2e float routines. It may not work
+% with other packages that modify the LaTeX2e float routines. The latest
+% version and documentation can be obtained at:
+% http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/sttools/
+% Documentation is contained in the stfloats.sty comments as well as in the
+% presfull.pdf file. Do not use the stfloats baselinefloat ability as IEEE
+% does not allow \baselineskip to stretch. Authors submitting work to the
+% IEEE should note that IEEE rarely uses double column equations and
+% that authors should try to avoid such use. Do not be tempted to use the
+% cuted.sty or midfloat.sty packages (also by Sigitas Tolusis) as IEEE does
+% not format its papers in such ways.
+
+
+
+
+
+% *** PDF, URL AND HYPERLINK PACKAGES ***
+%
+%\usepackage{url}
+% url.sty was written by Donald Arseneau. It provides better support for
+% handling and breaking URLs. url.sty is already installed on most LaTeX
+% systems. The latest version can be obtained at:
+% http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/misc/
+% Read the url.sty source comments for usage information. Basically,
+% \url{my_url_here}.
+
+
+
+
+
+% *** Do not adjust lengths that control margins, column widths, etc. ***
+% *** Do not use packages that alter fonts (such as pslatex). ***
+% There should be no need to do such things with IEEEtran.cls V1.6 and later.
+% (Unless specifically asked to do so by the journal or conference you plan
+% to submit to, of course. )

+method and to save the current residual frequently (for example, for each
+restart of GMRES). Then after a given number of outer iterations, a minimization
+step is applied on the matrix composed of the saved residuals in order to
+compute a better solution and make a new iteration if necessary. We prove that
+our method has the same convergence property than the inner method used. Some
+experiments using up to 16,394 cores show that compared to GMRES our algorithm

+\section{Introduction}
+% no \IEEEPARstart
+% You must have at least 2 lines in the paragraph with the drop letter
+% (should never be an issue)
+
+Iterative methods became more attractive than direct ones to solve very large
+sparse linear systems. Iterative methods are more effecient in a parallel
+context, with thousands of cores, and require less memory and arithmetic
+operations than direct methods. A number of iterative methods are proposed and
+adapted by many researchers and the increased need for solving very large sparse
+linear systems triggered the development of efficient iterative techniques
+suitable for the parallel processing.
+
+Most of the successful iterative methods currently available are based on Krylov
+subspaces which consist in forming a basis of a sequence of successive matrix
+powers times an initial vector for example the residual. These methods are based
+on orthogonality of vectors of the Krylov subspace basis to solve linear
+systems. The most well-known iterative Krylov subspace methods are Conjugate
+Gradient method and GMRES method (generalized minimal residual).
+
+However, iterative methods suffer from scalability problems on parallel
+computing platforms with many processors due to their need for reduction
+operations and collective communications to perform matrix-vector
+multiplications. The communications on large clusters with thousands of cores
+and large sizes of messages can significantly affect the performances of
+iterative methods. In practice, Krylov subspace iteration methods are often used
+with preconditioners in order to increase their convergence and accelerate their
+performances. However, most of the good preconditioners are not scalable on
+large clusters.
+
+In this paper we propose a two-stage algorithm based on two nested iterations
+called inner-outer iterations. This algorithm consists in solving the sparse
+linear system iteratively with a small number of inner iterations and restarts
+the outer step with a new solution minimizing some error functions over some
+previous residuals. This algorithm is iterative and easy to parallelize on large
+clusters and the minimization technique improves its convergence and
+performances.
+
+The present paper is organized as follows. In Section~\ref{sec:02} some related
+works are presented. Section~\ref{sec:03} presents our two-stage algorithm using
+a least-square residual minimization. Section~\ref{sec:04} describes some
+convergence results on this method. In Section~\ref{sec:05}, parallization
+details of TSARM are given. Section~\ref{sec:06} shows some experimental
+results obtained on large clusters of our algorithm using routines of PETSc
+toolkit. Finally Section~\ref{sec:06} concludes and gives some perspectives.

+\section{Two-stage algorithm with least-square residuals minimization}
+\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 periodically applies
+a least-square minimization on the residuals computed by the inner solver. The
+inner solver is a Krylov based solver which does not required to be changed.
+
+At each outer iteration, the sparse linear system $Ax=b$ is solved, only for $m$
+iterations, using an iterative method restarting with the previous solution. For
+example, the GMRES method~\cite{Saad86} or some of its variants can be used as a
+inner solver. The current solution of the Krylov method is saved inside a matrix
+$S$ composed of successive solutions computed by the inner iteration.
+
+Periodically, every $s$ iterations, the minimization step is applied in order to
+compute a new solution $x$. For that, the previous residuals are computed 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}
+with $R=AS$. Then the new solution $x$ is computed with $x=S\alpha$.
+
+
+In practice, $R$ is a dense rectangular matrix in $\mathbb{R}^{n\times s}$,
+$s\ll n$. In order to minimize~(\ref{eq:01}), a least-square method such as
+CGLS ~\cite{Hestenes52} or LSQR~\cite{Paige82} is used. Those methods are more
+appropriate than a direct method in a parallel context.

+Algorithm~\ref{algo:01} summarizes the principle of our method. The outer
+iteration is inside the 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
+equals to the restart number of 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 TSARM algorithm (i.e.
+$\epsilon$). Line~\ref{algo:store}, $S_{k~ mod~ s}=x^k$ consists in copying the
+solution $x_k$ into the column $k~ mod~ s$ of the matrix $S$. 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 iteration and the threshold to stop the
+method.
+
+To summarize, the important parameters of TSARM are:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item $\epsilon_{kryl}$ the threshold to stop the method of the krylov 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-square method
+\item $\epsilon_{ls}$ the threshold to stop the least-square method
+\end{itemize}

+\section{Parallelization}
+\label{sec:05}
+
+The parallelisation of TSARM relies on the parallelization of all its
+parts. More precisely, except the least-square 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
+colums in practice. As explained previously, at least two methods seem to be
+interesting to solve the least-square minimization, CGLS and LSQR.
+
+In the following we remind the CGLS algorithm. The LSQR method follows more or
+less the same principle but it take more place, so we briefly explain the parallelization of CGLS which is similar to LSQR.
+
+\begin{algorithm}[t]
+\caption{CGLS}
+\begin{algorithmic}[1]
+ \Input $A$ (matrix), $b$ (right-hand side)
+ \Output $x$ (solution vector)\vspace{0.2cm}
+ \State $r=b-Ax$
+ \State $p=A'r$
+ \State $s=p$
+ \State $g=||s||^2_2$
+ \For {$k=1,2,3,\ldots$ until convergence (g$<\epsilon_{ls}$)} \label{algo2:conv}
+ \State $q=Ap$
+ \State $\alpha=g/||q||^2_2$
+ \State $x=x+alpha*p$
+ \State $r=r-alpha*q$
+ \State $s=A'*r$
+ \State $g_{old}=g$
+ \State $g=||s||^2_2$
+ \State $\beta=g/g_{old}$
+ \EndFor
+\end{algorithmic}
+\label{algo:02}
+\end{algorithm}
+
+
+In each iteration of CGLS, there is two matrix-vector multiplications and some
+classical operations: dots, norm, multiplication and addition on vectors. All
+these operations are easy to implement in PETSc or similar environment.

+\section{Experiments using petsc}
+\label{sec:06}
+
+
+In order to see the influence of our algorithm with only one processor, we first
+show a comparison with the standard version of GMRES and our algorithm. In
+table~\ref{tab:01}, we show the matrices we have used and some of them
+characteristics. For all the matrices, the name, the field, the number of rows
+and the number of nonzero elements is given.
+
+\begin{table*}

+
+\end{tabular}
+\caption{Main characteristics of the sparse matrices chosen from the Davis collection}
+\label{tab:01}
+\end{center}
+\end{table*}
+
+The following parameters have been chosen for our experiments. As by default
+the restart of GMRES is performed every 30 iterations, we have chosen to stop
+the GMRES every 30 iterations (line \ref{algo:solve} in
+Algorithm~\ref{algo:01}). $s$ is set to 8. CGLS is chosen to minimize the
+least-squares problem. Two conditions are used to stop CGLS, either the
+precision is under $1e-40$ or the number of iterations is greater to $20$. The
+external precision is set to $1e-10$ (line \ref{algo:conv} in
+Algorithm~\ref{algo:01}). Those experiments have been performed on a Intel(R)
+Core(TM) i7-3630QM CPU @ 2.40GHz with the version 3.5.1 of PETSc.
+
+
+In Table~\ref{tab:02}, some experiments comparing the solving of the linear
+systems obtained with the previous matrices with a GMRES variant and with out 2
+stage algorithm are given. In the second column, it can be noticed that either
+gmres or fgmres is used to solve the linear system. According to the matrices,
+different preconditioner is used. With the 2 stage algorithm, the same solver
+and the same preconditionner is used. This Table shows that the 2 stage
+algorithm can drastically reduce the number of iterations to reach the
+convergence when the number of iterations for the normal GMRES is more or less
+greater than 500. In fact this also depends on tow parameters: the number of
+iterations to stop GMRES and the number of iterations to perform the
+minimization.
