+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.

-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
+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}
 \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
