+Iterative methods are become more attractive than direct ones to solve large sparse linear systems. They are more effective in a parallel context and require less memory and arithmetic operations than direct methods. A number of iterative methods are proposed and adapted by many researchers and the increased need for solving very large sparse linear systems triggered the development of efficient iterative techniques suitable for the parallel processing.
+
+The most successful iterative methods currently available are those based on the Krylov subspace which consists in forming a basis of a sequence of successive matrix powers times the initial residual. These methods are based on orthogonality of vectors of the Krylov subspace basis to solve generalized linear systems. The most well-known iterative Krylov subspace methods are Conjugate Gradient method and GMRES method (generalized minimal residual).

 \section{A Krylov two-stage algorithm}
 We propose a two-stage algorithm 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}.

-The outer iteration is implemented as an iterative Krylov method which minimizes some error function over a Krylov sub-space~\cite{saad96}. At every iteration, the sparse linear system $Ax=b$ is solved iteratively with an iterative method as GMRES method~\cite{saad86} and the Krylov sub-space that we used is spanned by a basis $S$ composed of successive solutions issued from the inner iteration
+In order to accelerate the convergence, the outer iteration is implemented as an iterative Krylov method which minimizes some error function over a Krylov sub-space~\cite{saad96}.

 \begin{equation}
   S = \{x^1, x^2, \ldots, x^s\} \text{,~} s\leq n.
 \end{equation} 

-The advantage of such a Krylov sub-space 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 sub-space spanned by vectors of $S$, where $\alpha$ is a solution of the normal equations
