\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{A Krylov two-stage algorithm}
+\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 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-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}
\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
-~\cite{hestenes52} or LSQR~\cite{paige82} which are more appropriate than a
-direct method in the parallel context.
+with $R=AS$. Then the new solution $x$ is 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-square 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.

-Operation $S_{k~ mod~ s}=x^k$ consists in copying the residual $x_k$ 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.
+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 TSIRM algorithm (\emph{i.e.}
+$\epsilon_{tsirm}$). 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.
+
+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-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 take more place, so we briefly explain the parallelization of CGLS which is similar to LSQR.

+\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.

+\begin{proposition}
+Suppose that $A$ 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 $\alpha = \lambda_min(M)^2$ and $\beta = \lambda_max(A^T A)$, which proves
+the convergence of GMRES($m$) for all $m$ under that assumption regarding $A$.

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
