+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.

+Iterative methods  became more attractive than  direct ones to  solve very large
+sparse  linear systems.  Iterative  methods  are more  effecient  in a  parallel
+context,  with  thousands  of  cores,  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.
+
+Most of the successful iterative methods currently available are based on Krylov
+subspaces which  consist in forming a  basis of a sequence  of successive matrix
+powers times an initial vector for example the residual. These methods are based
+on  orthogonality  of vectors  of  the Krylov  subspace  basis  to solve  linear
+systems.  The  most well-known iterative  Krylov subspace methods  are Conjugate
+Gradient method and GMRES method (generalized minimal residual).
+
+However,  iterative  methods suffer  from scalability  problems  on parallel
+computing  platforms  with many  processors  due  to  their need  for  reduction
+operations    and   collective    communications   to    perform   matrix-vector
+multiplications. The  communications on large  clusters with thousands  of cores
+and  large  sizes of  messages  can  significantly  affect the  performances  of
+iterative methods. In practice, Krylov subspace iteration methods are often used
+with preconditioners in order to increase their convergence and accelerate their
+performances.  However, most  of the  good preconditioners  are not  scalable on
+large clusters.
+
+In this  paper we propose a  two-stage algorithm based on  two nested iterations
+called inner-outer  iterations.  This algorithm  consists in solving  the sparse
+linear system iteratively  with a small number of  inner iterations and restarts
+the outer  step with a  new solution minimizing  some error functions  over some
+previous residuals. This algorithm is iterative and easy to parallelize on large
+clusters   and  the   minimization  technique   improves  its   convergence  and
+performances.
+
+The present paper is organized  as follows. In Section~\ref{sec:02} some related
+works are presented. Section~\ref{sec:03} presents our two-stage algorithm using
+a  least-square  residual  minimization.   Section~\ref{sec:04}  describes  some
+convergence   results   on  this   method.    Section~\ref{sec:05}  shows   some
+experimental results obtained on large  clusters of our algorithm using routines
+of  PETSc  toolkit.  Finally   Section~\ref{sec:06}  concludes  and  gives  some
+perspectives.

 \section{A Krylov two-stage 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
+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}
+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.

+
+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 $m$ iterations.  In practice, we  suggest to choose $m$
+equals to  the restart number  of the GMRES like  method. 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.

+In order to see the influence of our algorithm with only one processor, we first

+characteristics. For all  the matrices, the name, the field,  the number of rows
+and the number of nonzero elements is given.

+
+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
+Algorithm~\ref{algo:01}).  Those  experiments have been performed  on a Intel(R)
+Core(TM) i7-3630QM CPU @ 2.40GHz with the version 3.5.1 of PETSc.
+
+
+In  Table~\ref{tab:02}, some  experiments comparing  the solving  of  the linear
+systems obtained with the previous matrices  with a GMRES variant and with out 2
+stage algorithm are  given. In the second column, it can  be noticed that either
+gmres or fgmres is used to  solve the linear system.  According to the matrices,
+different preconditioner is  used.  With the 2 stage  algorithm, the same solver
+and  the same  preconditionner  is used.   This  Table shows  that  the 2  stage
+algorithm  can  drastically  reduce  the  number  of  iterations  to  reach  the
+convergence when the  number of iterations for the normal GMRES  is more or less
+greater than  500. In fact  this also depends  on tow parameters: the  number of
+iterations  to  stop  GMRES  and   the  number  of  iterations  to  perform  the
+minimization.
