\begin{abstract}
-In this paper we propose a two stage iterative method which increases the
-convergence of Krylov iterative methods, typically those of GMRES variants. The
-principle of our approach is to build an external iteration over the Krylov
-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 save 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
-can be around 7 times faster.

+\section{Two-stage iteration with least-square 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
-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
+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-square 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
+best known approximation previously obtained.
+GMRES method~\cite{Saad86}, or any of its variants, can be used for instance as an
+inner solver. The current approximation of the Krylov method is then stored inside a matrix
+$S$ composed by the successive solutions that are computed during inner iterations.
+
+At each $s$ 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}
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.

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

-To summarize, the important parameters of are:
+Let us summarize the most important parameters of TSIRM:
\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
+\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-square method;
+\item $\epsilon_{ls}$: the threshold used to stop the least-square method.
\end{itemize}
+
+The parallelisation of TSIRM 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 takes more place, so we briefly explain the parallelization of CGLS which is similar to LSQR.

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

future plan : \\
- study other kinds of matrices, problems, inner solvers\\
+- test the influence of all the parameters\\
- adaptative number of outer iterations to minimize\\
- other methods to minimize the residuals?\\
- implement our solver inside PETSc
