 \section{Introduction}
 
-Présenter un bref état de l'art sur la simulation d'algos parallèles. Présenter rapidement les algos itératifs asynchrones et leurs avantages. Parler de leurs inconvénients en particulier la difficulté de déploiement à grande échelle donc il serait bien de simuler. Dire qu'à notre connaissance il n'existe pas de simulation de ce type d'algo.
-Présenter les travaux et les résultats obtenus. Annoncer le plan.
+Parallel computing and high performance computing (HPC) are becoming 
+more and more imperative for solving various problems raised by 
+researchers on various scientific disciplines but also by industrial in 
+the field. Indeed, the increasing complexity of these requested 
+applications combined with a continuous increase of their sizes lead to 
+write distributed and parallel algorithms requiring significant hardware 
+resources ( grid computing , clusters, broadband network ,etc... ) but 
+also a non- negligible CPU execution time. We consider in this paper a 
+class of highly efficient parallel algorithms called iterative executed 
+in a distributed environment. As their name suggests, these algorithm 
+solves a given problem that might be NP- complete complex by successive 
+iterations (X$_{n +1 }$= f (X$_{n}$) ) from an initial value X
+$_{0}$ to find an approximate value X* of the solution with a very low 
+residual error. Several well-known methods demonstrate the convergence 
+of these algorithms. Generally, to reduce the complexity and the 
+execution time, the problem is divided into several "pieces" that will 
+be solved in parallel on multiple processing units. The latter will 
+communicate each intermediate results before a new iteration starts 
+until the approximate solution is reached. These distributed parallel 
+computations can be performed either in "synchronous" communication mode 
+where a new iteration begin only when all nodes communications are 
+completed, either "asynchronous" mode where processors can continue 
+independently without or few synchronization points. Despite the 
+effectiveness of iterative approach, a major drawback of the method is 
+the requirement of huge resources in terms of computing capacity, 
+storage and high speed communication network. Indeed, limited physical 
+resources are blocking factors for large-scale deployment of parallel 
+algorithms. 
+
+In recent years, the use of a simulation environment to execute parallel 
+iterative algorithms found some interests in reducing the highly cost of 
+access to computing resources: (1) for the applications development life 
+cycle and in code debugging (2) and in production to get results in a 
+reasonable execution time with a simulated infrastructure not accessible 
+with physical resources. Indeed, the launch of distributed iterative 
+asynchronous algorithms to solve a given problem on a large-scale 
+simulated environment challenges to find optimal configurations giving 
+the best results with a lowest residual error and in the best of 
+execution time. According our knowledge, no testing of large-scale 
+simulation of the class of algorithm solving to achieve real results has 
+been undertaken to date. We had in the scope of this work implemented a 
+program for solving large non-symmetric linear system of equations by 
+numerical method GMRES (Generalized Minimal Residual ) in the simulation 
+environment Simgrid . The simulated platform had allowed us to launch 
+the application from a modest computing infrastructure by simulating 
+different distributed architectures composed by clusters nodes 
+interconnected by variable speed networks. In addition, it has been 
+permitted to show the effectiveness of asynchronous mode algorithm by 
+comparing its performance with the synchronous mode time. With selected 
+parameters on the network platforms (bandwidth, latency of inter cluster 
+network) and on the clusters architecture (number, capacity calculation 
+power) in the simulated environment , the experimental results have 
+demonstrated not only the algorithm convergence within a reasonable time 
+compared with the physical environment performance, but also a time 
+saving of up to 40 \% in asynchronous mode.
+
+This article is structured as follows: after this introduction, the next 
+section will give a brief description of iterative asynchronous model. 
+Then, the simulation framework SIMGRID will be presented with the 
+settings to create various distributed architectures. The algorithm of 
+the multi -splitting method used by GMRES written with MPI primitives 
+and its adaptation to Simgrid with SMPI (Simulation MPI ) will be in the 
+next section . At last, the experiments results carried out will be 
+presented before the conclusion which we will announce the opening of 
+our future work after the results.
