With some applications, it is difficult, if not impossible, to build accurate performance models. That is why another solution is to use a simulation tools that allows us to change many parameters of the architecture (network bandwidth, latency, number of processors) and to simulate the execution of such applications. + The behavior of multicore applications is always a challenge to predict, especially with a new architecture for which no experiment has been performed.

We have decided to use SimGrid as it enables to benchmark MPI applications. - In this paper, we focus our attention on two parallel iterative algorithms: one with synchronoous iterations and another one with asynchronous iterations. +In this paper, we focus our attention on two parallel iterative algorithms based +on the Multisplitting algorithm and we compare them to the GMRES algorithm. +These algorithms are used to solve libear systems. Two different variantsof the Multisplitting are +studied: one using synchronoous iterations and another one with asynchronous +iterations. For each algorithm we have tested different parameters to see their +influence. We strongly recommend people interested by investing into a new +expensive hardware architecture to benchmark their applications using a +simulation tool before. + + \end{abstract}
