+SimGrid simulator uses at least three XML input files describing the
+computational grid resources: the number of clusters in the grid, the number of
+processors/cores in each cluster, the detailed description of the intra and
+inter networks and the list of the hosts in each cluster (see the details in
+Section~\ref{sec:expe}). SimGrid uses a fluid model to simulate the program
+execution. It allows several simulation modes which produce accurate
+results~\cite{bedaride+degomme+genaud+al.2013.toward,velho+schnorr+casanova+al.2013.validity}. For
+instance, the "in vivo" mode really executes the computation but "intercepts"
+the communications (the execution time is then evaluated according to the
+parameters of the simulated platform). It is also possible for SimGrid/SMPI to
+only keep the duration of large computations by skipping them. Moreover the
+application can be run "in vitro" mode by sharing some in-memory structures
+between the simulated processes and thus allowing the use of very large-scale

+%% In the scope of this paper, the SimGrid toolkit~\cite{SimGrid,casanova+legrand+quinson.2008.simgrid,casanova+giersch+legrand+al.2014.versatile},
+%% an open source framework actively developed by its scientific community, has been chosen to simulate the behavior of iterative linear solvers in different computational grid configurations. SimGrid pretends to be non-specialized in opposite to some other simulators which stayed to be very specific oriented-application. One of the well-known SimGrid advantage is its SMPI (Simulated MPI) user interface. SMPI purpose is to execute by simulation in a similar way as in real life, an MPI distributed application and to get accurate results with the detailed resources
+%% consumption.Several studies have demonstrated the accuracy of the simulation
+%% compared with execution on real physical architectures. In addition of SMPI,
+%% Simgrid provides other API which can be convienent for different distrbuted
+%% applications: computational grid applications, High Performance Computing (HPC),
+%% P2P but also clouds applications. In this paper we use the SMPI API. It
+%% implements about \np[\%]{80} of the MPI 2.0 standard and allows minor
+%% modifications of the initial code~\cite{bedaride+degomme+genaud+al.2013.toward}
+%% (see Section~\ref{sec:04.02}).
