+The number of iterations required to reach the convergence is generally greater

+number of iterations is the same than in the sequential mode. In this way, the

-of the application before any deployment in a real environment.  We have focused
-the study on analyzing the performance  in varying the key factors impacting the
-results. The study compares the performance  of the two proposed algorithms both
-in  \textit{synchronous mode  }. In  this section,  following the  same previous
-methodology, the  goal is  to demonstrate the  efficiency of  the multisplitting
-method in \textit{ asynchronous mode}  compared with the classical GMRES staying
-in \textit{synchronous mode}.
-
-Note that the interest of using the asynchronous mode for data exchange
-is mainly, in opposite of the synchronous mode, the non-wait aspects of
-the current computation after a communication operation like sending
-some data between nodes. Each processor can continue their local
-calculation without waiting for the end of the communication. Thus, the
-asynchronous may theoretically reduce the overall execution time and can
-improve the algorithm performance.
-
-As stated supra, Simgrid simulator tool has been used to prove the
-efficiency of the multisplitting in asynchronous mode and to find the
-best combination of the grid resources (CPU, Network, input matrix size,
-\ldots ) to get the highest \textit{"relative gain"} (exec\_time$_{GMRES}$ / exec\_time$_{multisplitting}$) in comparison with the classical GMRES time.

+The  interest of  using  an asynchronous  algorithm  is that  there  is no  more
