of asynchronous iterative algorithms. For that, we compare the behaviour of a
synchronous GMRES algorithm with an asynchronous multisplitting one with
-simulations in which we choose some parameters. Both codes are real MPI

\section{Conclusion}
The simulation of the execution of parallel asynchronous iterative algorithms on large scale clusters has been presented.
-Our work has demonstrated that using such a simulation tool allow us to
+In this work, we show that SIMGRID is an efficient simulation tool that allows us to
reach the following three objectives:
\begin{enumerate}
-\item To have a flexible configurable execution platform resolving the
-hard exercise to access to very limited but so solicited physical
-resources;
+\item To have a flexible configurable execution platform that allows us to
+ simulate asynchronous iterative algorithm for which execution of all parts of
+ the code is necessary. Using simulations before real execution is a nice
+ solution to detect the scalability problems.

\item to ensure the algorithm convergence with a reasonable time and
iteration number ;
\item and finally and more importantly, to find the correct combination
executing the algorithm in asynchronous mode.
\end{enumerate}
Our results have shown that in certain conditions, asynchronous mode is

+In future works, we plan to extend our experimentations to larger scale platforms by increasing the number of computing cores and the number of clusters.
+We will also have to increase the size of the input problem which will require the use of a more powerful simulation platform. At last, we expect to compare our simulation results to real execution results on real architectures in order to experimentally validate our study.
