+In order to perform larger experiments, we have tested some example application
+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 equals to 4 and 4 extra-diagonals
+ representing the neighbors in each directions is equal to -1. This example is
+ used in many physical phenomena, for example, heat and fluid flow, wave
+ propagation...
+\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, it is called $\alpha$.
+\end{itemize}
+For more technical details on these applications, interested reader are invited
+to read the codes available in the PETSc sources. Those problem have been
+chosen because they are scalable with many cores. We have tested other problem
+but they are not scalable with many cores.
+
+In the following larger experiments are described on two large scale architectures: Curie and Juqeen... {\bf description...}\\

+Table~\ref{tab:03} shows the execution times and the number of iterations of
+example ex15 of PETSc on the Juqueen architecture. Differents number of cores
+are studied rangin from 2,048 upto 16,383. Two preconditioners have been
+tested. For those experiments, the number of components (or unknown of the
+problems) per processor 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 this Table, 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 alsways faster than
+FGMRES. For this example, the multigrid preconditionner 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.

+
+
+In Figure~\ref{fig:01}, the number of iterations per second corresponding to
+Table~\ref{tab:01} is displayed. It can be noticed that the number of
+iterations per second of FMGRES is constant whereas it decrease with TSIRM with
+both preconditioner. This can be explained by the fact that when the number of
+core increases the time for the 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
+the number of iterations. So, the overall benefit of using TSIRM is interesting.
