Drawing inspiration from a former spectral analysis, we propose for the resulting space-time linear system a new solution method combining a suitable preconditioned GMRES (PGMRES) algorithm with a few iterations of an appropriate multigrid method. The performance of our new solution method is illustrated through numerical experiments, which show its competitiveness in terms of robustness, run-time and parallel scaling.} }
