the present chapter, the bandwidth of a sparse matrix is defined as the number of matrix columns separating
the first and the last nonzero value on a matrix row.

CG method is characterized by a better convergence\index{convergence} rate and a shorter execution
time of an iteration than those of the GMRES method. Moreover, an iteration of the parallel GMRES
method requires more data exchanges between computing nodes compared to the parallel CG method.
