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 TSIRM

In order to perform larger experiments, we have tested some example applications

\begin{itemize}
\item ex15 is an example which solves in parallel an operator using a finite
difference scheme. The diagonal is equal to 4 and 4 extra-diagonals
\end{itemize}
For more technical details on these applications, interested readers are invited
to read the codes available in the PETSc sources. Those problems have been
