inter-cluster communications. In the following, these parameters are described:
\begin{itemize}
- \item hostfile: hosts description file.

\item platform: file describing the platform architecture: clusters (CPU power,

\item archi : grid computational description (number of clusters, number of
nodes/processors in each cluster).
\end{itemize}
on the one hand the algorithm execution mode (synchronous and asynchronous)
and on the other hand the execution time and the number of iterations to reach the convergence. \\

simulated in the simulator tool to run the program. The following architectures
have been configured in SimGrid : 2$\times$16, 4$\times$8, 4$\times$16, 8$\times$8 and 2$\times$50. The first number
represents the number of clusters in the grid and the second number represents
