-In  this article,  a  two-stage  iterative method is proposed to improve  the

+the minimization  procedure: CGLS or  LSQR. Even if  we have computed  the worst
+case  between CGLS  and LSQR,  it is  clear that  TSIRM is  always  faster than
+FGMRES. For this example, the  multigrid preconditioner 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.
