In this paper, we show that it is interesting to use SimGrid to simulate the behaviors 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 -codes. Simulations allow us to see when the multisplitting algorithm can be more +simulations which let us easily choose some parameters.
