+Asynchronous iterative methods have been  studied for many years theoritecally and
+practically. Many methods have been considered and convergence results have been
+proved. These  methods can  be used  to solve, in  parallel, fixed  point problems
+(i.e. problems  for which  the solution is  $x^\star =f(x^\star)$.  In practice,
+asynchronous iterations  methods can be used  to solve, for example,  linear and
+non-linear systems of equations or optimization problems, interested readers are
+invited to read~\cite{BT89,bahi07}.
+
+Before  using  an  asynchronous  iterative   method,  the  convergence  must  be
+studied. Otherwise, the  application is not ensure to reach  the convergence. An
+algorithm that supports both the synchronous or the asynchronous iteration model
+requires very few modifications  to be able to be executed  in both variants. In
+practice, only  the communications and  convergence detection are  different. In
+the synchronous  mode, iterations are  synchronized whereas in  the asynchronous
+one, they are not.  It should be noticed that non blocking communications can be
+used in both  modes. Concerning the convergence  detection, synchronous variants
+can use  a global convergence procedure  which acts as a  global synchronization
+point. In the  asynchronous model, the convergence detection is  more tricky as
+it   must  not   synchronize  all   the  processors.   Interested  readers   can
+consult~\cite{myBCCV05c,bahi07,ccl09:ij}.

-One of our objectives when simulating the application in SIMGRID is, as in real life, to get accurate results (solutions of the problem) but also ensure the test reproducibility under the same conditions. According our experience, very few modifications are required to adapt a MPI program to run in SIMGRID simulator using SMPI (Simulator MPI).The first modification is to include SMPI libraries and related header files (smpi.h). The second and important modification is to eliminate all global variables in moving them to local subroutine or using a Simgrid selector called "runtime automatic switching" (smpi/privatize\_global\_variables). Indeed, global variables can generate side effects on runtime between the threads running in the same process, generated by the Simgrid to simulate the grid environment.The last modification on the MPI program pointed out for some cases, the review of the sequence of the MPI\_Isend, MPI\_Irecv and MPI\_Waitall instructions which might cause an infinite loop.
