+Traditionnal iterative  solvers have  global synchronizations that  penalize the
+scalability.   Two  possible solutions  consists  either  in using  asynchronous
+iterative  methods~\cite{ref18} or  to  use multisplitting  algorithms. In  this
+paper, we will  reconsider the use of a multisplitting  method. In opposition to
+traditionnal  multisplitting  method  that  suffer  from  slow  convergence,  as
+proposed  in~\cite{huang1993krylov},  the  use  of a  minimization  process  can
+drastically improve the convergence.
