+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 algebraic structures used in mathematics that capture physical phenomenons and that express the outcome in the form of a function of some unknown variable. Formally speaking, a polynomial $p(x)$ of degree \textit{n} having $n$ coefficients in the complex plane \textit{C} and zeros $\alpha_{i},\textit{i=1,...,n}$
+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}
- {\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}
-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 $p$. The problem of finding a root is equivalent to that of solving a fixed-point problem. To see this, consider the fixed-point problem of finding the $n$-dimensional

\section{The implementation of simultaneous methods in a parallel computer}
\label{secStateofArt}
Moreover, they have fast rate of convergence (quadratic for the
Durand-Kerner and cubic for the Ehrlisch-Aberth). Various parallel
algorithms reported for these methods can be found
-in~\cite{Cosnard90, Freeman89,Freemanall90,,Jana99,Janall99}.
+in~\cite{Cosnard90, Freeman89,Freemanall90,Jana99,Janall99}.
Freeman and Bane~\cite{Freemanall90} presented two parallel
algorithms on a local memory MIMD computer with the compute-to
communication time ratio O(n). However, their algorithms require
\section {A CUDA parallel Ehrlisch-Aberth method}
+In the following, we describe the parallel implementation of Ehrlisch-Aberth method on GPU
+for solving high degree polynomials. First, the hardware and software of the GPUs are presented. Then, a CUDA parallel Ehrlisch-Aberth method are presented.
\subsection{Background on the GPU architecture}
A GPU is viewed as an accelerator for the data-parallel and
\section{Experimental study}
\subsection{Definition of the polynomial used}
-We use two forms of polynomials:
-\paragraph{sparse polynomial}:
-in this following form, the roots are distributed on 2 distinct circles:
+We study two forms of polynomials the sparse polynomials and the full polynomials:
+\paragraph{Sparse polynomial}: in this following form, the roots are distributed on 2 distinct circles:
\begin{equation}
- \forall \alpha_{1} \alpha_{2} \in C,\forall n_{1},n_{2} \in N^{*}; P(z)= (z^{n^{1}}-\alpha_{1})(z^{n^{2}}-\alpha_{2})
+ \forall \alpha_{1} \alpha_{2} \in C,\forall n_{1},n_{2} \in N^{*}; P(z)= (z^{n_{1}}-\alpha_{1})(z^{n_{2}}-\alpha_{2})
\end{equation}
-
This form makes it possible to associate roots having two
different modules and thus to work on a polynomial constitute
of four non zero terms.
-\paragraph{Full polynomial}:
- the second form used to obtain a full polynomial is:
+\paragraph{Full polynomial}: the second form used to obtain a full polynomial is:
%%\begin{equation}
%%\forall \alpha_{i} \in C,\forall n_{i}\in N^{*}; P(z)= \sum^{n}_{i=1}(z^{n^{i}}.a_{i})
%%\end{equation}
\begin{equation}
- {\Large \forall a_{i} \in C, i\in N; p(x)=\sum^{n-1}_{i=1} a_{i}.x^{i}}
+ {\Large \forall a_{i} \in C, i\in N; p(x)=\sum^{n}_{i=0} a_{i}.x^{i}}
\end{equation}
with this form, we can have until \textit{n} non zero terms.
\subsection{The study condition}
-In order to have representative average values, for each
-point of our curves we measured the roots finding of 10
-different polynomials.
-
The our experiences results concern two parameters which are
the polynomial degree and the execution time of our program
to converge on the solution. The polynomial degree allows us
polynomials. The execution time remains the
element-key which justifies our work of parallelization.
For our tests we used a CPU Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU
-E5620@2.40GHz and a GPU K40 (with 6 Go of ram)
