+Multisplitting methods are more advantageous for large distributed computing platforms composed of hundreds or even thousands of processors interconnected by high latency networks. In this context, the parallel asynchronous model is preferred to the synchronous one to reduce overall execution times of the algorithms, even if it generally requires more iterations to converge. The asynchronous model allows the communications to be overlapped by computations which suppresses the idle times resulting from the synchronizations. So in asynchronous mode, our two-stage algorithm uses asynchronous outer iterations and asynchronous communications between clusters. The communications (i.e. lines~\ref{send} and~\ref{recv} in Algorithm~\ref{alg:01}) are performed by message passing using MPI non-blocking communication routines. The convergence of the asynchronous iterations is detected when all clusters have locally converged
+\begin{equation}
+k\geq\MIM\mbox{~or~}\|x_\ell^{k+1}-x_\ell^k\|_{\infty }\leq\TOLM,
+\label{eq:07}
+\end{equation}    
+where $\MIM$ is the maximum number of outer iterations and $\TOLM$ is the tolerance threshold of the two-stage algorithm. The procedure of the convergence detection is implemented as follows. All clusters are interconnected by a virtual unidirectional ring network around which a Boolean token circulates from a cluster to another.
