+Polynomials are mathematical algebraic structures that play a great role in science and engineering. But the process of solving them  for high and large degrees is computationally demanding and still not solved. In this paper, we present the results of a parallel implementation of the Ehrlish-Aberth algorithm for the problem root finding for
+high degree polynomials on GPU architectures (Graphics Processing Unit). The main result of this work is to be able to solve high and very large degree polynomials (up to 100000) very efficiently. We also compare the results with a sequential implementation and the Durand-Kerner method on full and sparse polynomials.

+\section{The problem of finding roots of a polynomial}
+Polynomials are mathematical algebraic structures used in science and engineering to capture physical phenomenons and to express any outcome in the form of a function of some unknown variables. Formally speaking,  a polynomial $p(x)$ of degree \textit{n} having $n$ coefficients in the complex plane \textit{C} is :

 %%\begin{center}
 \begin{equation}
 %%\begin{center}
 \begin{equation}

-     {\Large p(x)=\sum{a_{i}x^{i}}=a_{n}\prod(x-\alpha_{i}),a_{0} a_{n}\neq 0}
+     {\Large p(x)=\sum_{i=0}^{n}{a_{i}x^{i}}}.

 \end{equation}
 %%\end{center}
 
 \end{equation}

- The root finding problem consist to find
-all n root of \textit{p(x)}. the problem of finding a root is
-equivalent to the problem of finding a fixed-point. To see this

-vector x such that
+The root finding problem consists in finding the values of all the $n$ values of the variable $x$ for which \textit{p(x)} is nullified. Such values are called zeroes of $p$. If zeros are $\alpha_{i},\textit{i=1,...,n}$ the $p(x)$ can be written as :
+\begin{equation}

+\subsection{Comparative study}
+In this section, we discuss the performance Ehrlish-Aberth method  of root finding polynomials implemented on CPUs and on GPUs.
+
+We performed a set of experiments on the sequential and the parallel algorithms, for both sparse and full polynomials and different sizes. We took into account the execution time,the  polynomial size and the number of threads per block performed by sum or each experiment on CPUs and on GPUs.
+
+All experimental results obtained from the simulations are made in double precision data, for a convergence tolerance of the methods set to $10^{-7}$. Since we were more interested in the comparison of the performance behaviors of Ehrlish-Aberth and Durand-Kerner methods on CPUs versus on GPUs. The initialization values of the vector solution of the Ehrlich-Aberth method are given in section 2.2.

+
+Figure 1 %%show a comparison of execution time between the parallel and sequential version of the Ehrlisch-Aberth algorithm with sparse polynomial exceed 100000, 
+We report the execution times of the Ehrlisch-Aberth method implemented on one core of the Quad-Core Xeon E5620 CPU and those of the same methods implemented on one Nvidia Tesla K40c GPU, with sparse polynomial degrees ranging from 100,000 to 1,000,000. We can see that the methods implemented on the GPU are faster than those implemented on the CPU. This is due to the GPU ability to compute the data-parallel functions faster than its CPU counterpart. However, the execution time for the sequential implementation exceed 16,000 s for 450,000 degrees polynomials, in counterpart  the GPU implementation for the same polynomials need only 350 s, more than again, with 1,000,000 polynomials degrees GPU implementation not reach 2,300 s degrees. While CPU implementation need more than 10 hours. We can also notice that the GPU implementation are almost 47 faster then those implementation on the CPU. Furthermore, we verify that the number of iterations is the same. This reduction of time allows us to compute roots of polynomial of more important degree at the same time than with a CPU.

+\subsubsection{Influence of the number of threads on the execution times of different polynomials (sparse and full)}
+It is also interesting to see the influence of the number of threads per block on the execution time. For that, we notice that the maximum number of threads per block for the Nvidia Tesla K40c GPU is 1024, so we varied the number of threads per block from 8 to 1024. We took into account the execution time for both sparse and full polynomials of size 50000 and 500000 degrees.

+\caption{Influence of the number of threads on the execution times of different polynomials (sparse and full)}
+\label{fig:01}
+\end{figure}
+
+The figure 2 show that, the best execution time for both sparse and full polynomial are given while the threads number varies between 64 and 256 threads per bloc. We notice that with small polynomials the number of threads per block is 64, Whereas, the large polynomials the number of threads per block is 256. However,In the following experiments we specify that the number of thread by block is 256.
+
+\subsubsection{The impact of exp-log solution to compute very high degrees of  polynomial}
+
+In this experiment we report the performance of log.exp solution describe in ~\ref{sec2} to compute very high degrees polynomials.   
+\begin{figure}[H]
+\centering
+  \includegraphics[width=0.8\textwidth]{figures/log_exp}
+\caption{The impact of exp-log solution to compute very high degrees of  polynomial.}
+\label{fig:01}
+\end{figure}
+
+The figure 3, show a comparison between the execution time of the Ehrlisch-Aberth algorithm applying log-exp solution and the execution time of the Ehrlisch-Aberth algorithm without applying log-exp solution, with full polynomials degrees. We can see that the execution time for the both algorithms are the same while the polynomials degrees are less than 4500.After,we show clearly that the Ehrlisch-Aberth algorithm without applying log.exp stop to converge consequently,can not solving polynomial exceed 4500, in counterpart, applying log.exp solution the Ehrlisch-Aberth algorithm can solving very high and large full polynomial exceed 500,000 degrees.
+
+in fact, when the modulus of the roots are up than R given in (~\ref{eq:radiusR}),this exceed the the limited number in the mantissa of floating points representations who justify the divergence of the Ehrlisch-Aberth algorithm without log.exp. However, applying log.exp solution given in equation~\ref{alg3-update} took into account the limit of floating using the iterative function given in~\ref{eq:Aberth-H-GS}.
+
+
+
+%we report the performances of the exp.log for the Ehrlisch-Aberth algorithm for solving very high degree of polynomial.
