The numerical health check of industrial codes is crucial to give confidence about the computed results performed by studying the round-off error propagation. This problem is exacerbated in a super-computing environment where trillions of floating-point operations may be performed every second. A parallel program based on domain decomposition as shown in this paper could compute slightly different results depending on the number of processors. This numerical health check is also needed to verify if a numerical code (or some parts of the numerical code) could still have an acceptable accuracy when using single precision instead of double precision which is useful to run numerical codes on new hardware technologies like GPU where the double precision is unavailable or expensive. The round-off error propagation is measured with the MPFI (interval arithmetic approach) and CADNA (probabilistic approach) libraries.
