+We have performed some experiments on an infiniband cluster of 3 nodes of Intel Xeon quad-core CPU E5620 2.40 GHz and 12 GB of memory. For the GMRES code (alone and in both multisplitting versions) the restart parameter is fixed to 16. The precision of the GMRES version is fixed to 1e-6. For the multisplitting versions, there are two precisions, one for the external solver which is fixed to 1e-6 and another one for the inner solver (GMRES) which is fixed to 1e-10. It should be noted that a high precision is used but we also fixed a maximum number of iterations for each internal step. In practice, we limit the number of iterations in the internal step to 10. So an internal iteration is finished when the precision is reached or when the maximum internal number of iterations is reached. The precision and the maximum number of iterations of CGNR method used by our Krylov multisplitting algorithm are fixed to 1e-25 and 20 respectively. The size of the Krylov subspace basis S is fixed to 10 vectors.

+In Figure~\ref{fig:01}, the number of iterations per second is reported for both
+GMRES and the  multisplitting methods. It should be noted that  we took only the
+inner number  of iterations (i.e.  the GMRES iterations) for  the multisplitting

+solver  and the outer  one.  We  plan to  do that  later with  engineers working
+specifically on  that point.  Moreover,  we think that  it is very  important to
+analyze the convergence  of this method compared to other  method. In this work,
+we have  focused on the  description of this  method and its performance  with a
+typical application. Many other investigations are required for this method as explained in the next section.
