Obviously, as shown in Figure~\ref{fig:05}, the execution time for both +algorithms increases when the input matrix size also increases. For all problem +sizes, GMRES is always slower than the Krylov multisplitting. Moreover, for this +benchmark, it seems that the greater the problem size is, the bigger the ratio +between both algorithm execution times is. We can also observ that for some +problem sizes, the Krylov multisplitting convergence varies quite a +lot. Consequently the execution times in that cases also varies. + These findings may help a lot end users to setup the best and the optimal targeted environment for the application deployment when focusing on the problem size scale up.
