\begin{abstract}
-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 Ehrlich-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.

This formula is mentioned for the first time by
Weiestrass~\cite{Weierstrass03} as part of the fundamental theorem
Aberth~\cite{Aberth73} uses a different iteration formula given as fellows :
%%\begin{center}
\begin{equation}
- Z_{i}=Z_{i}-\frac{1}{{\frac {P'(Z_{i})} {P(Z_{i})}}-{\sum_{i\neq j}(z_{i}-z_{j})}}.
+ Z_i^{k+1}=Z_i^k-\frac{1}{{\frac {P'(Z_i^k)} {P(Z_i^k)}}-{\sum_{i\neq j}(Z_i^k-Z_j^k)}}.
\end{equation}
%%\end{center}
+where $P'(Z)$ is the polynomial derivative of $P$ evaluated in the
+point $Z$.
Aberth, Ehrlich and Farmer-Loizou~\cite{Loizon83} have proved that
the Ehrlich-Aberth method (EA) has a cubic order of convergence for simple roots whereas the Durand-Kerner has a quadratic order of convergence.
