according to the characteristics of the simulated execution platform. The
description of this target platform is given as an input for the execution, by
the mean of an XML file. It describes the properties of the platform, such as
-the computing node with their computing power, the interconnection links with
+the computing nodes with their computing power, the interconnection links with
their bandwidth and latency, and the routing strategy. The simulated running
time of the application is computed according to these properties.
As mentioned, upon this adaptation, the algorithm is executed as in the real life in the simulated environment after the following minor changes. First, all declared
global variables have been moved to local variables for each subroutine. In fact, global variables generate side effects arising from the concurrent access of
shared memory used by threads simulating each computing unit in the SimGrid architecture. Second, the alignment of certain types of variables such as ``long int'' had

In total, the initial MPI program running on the simulation environment SMPI gave after a very simple adaptation the same results as those obtained in a real
environment. We have successfully executed the code in synchronous mode using GMRES algorithm compared with a multisplitting method in asynchrnous mode after few modification.
