-In this sequential algorithm one thread CPU execute all steps. Let see the step 3 the execution of the iterative function, 2 instructions are needed, the first instruction \textit{save} the solution vector for the previous iteration, the second instruction \textit{update} or compute a new values of the roots.
-We have two manner to execute the iterative function, taking a Jacobi iteration who need all the previous value $z^{(k)}_{i}$ to compute the new value $z^{(k+1)}_{i}$we have:
+In this sequential algorithm, one CPU thread  executes all the steps. Let us look to the $3^{rd}$ step i.e. the execution of the iterative function, 2 sub-steps are needed. The first sub-step \textit{save}s the solution vector of the previous iteration, the second sub-step \textit{update}s or computes the new values of the roots vector.
+There exists two ways to execute the iterative function that we call a Jacobi one and a Gauss-Seidel one. With the Jacobi iteration, at iteration $k+1$ we need all the previous values $z^{(k)}_{i}$ to compute the new values $z^{(k+1)}_{i}$, taht is :
 
 \begin{equation}
 H(i,z^{k+1})=\frac{p(z^{(k)}_{i})}{p'(z^{(k)}_{i})-p(z^{(k)}_{i})\sum^{n}_{j=1 j\neq i}\frac{1}{z^{(k)}_{i}-z^{(k)}_{j}}}, i=1,...,n.
 \end{equation}

+With the the Gauss-seidel iteration, we have:

-H(i,z^{k+1})=\frac{p(z^{(k)}_{i})}{p'(z^{(k)}_{i})-p(z^{(k)}_{i})\sum^{i-1}_{j=1}\frac{1}{z^{(k)}_{i}-z^{(k+1)}_{j}}+\sum^{n}_{j=i+1}\frac{1}{z^{(k)}_{i}-z^{(k)}_{j}}}, i=1,...,n.
+\label{eq:Aberth-H-GS}

 \end{equation}
 
-In formula(16), the Gauss-seidel iteration converge more quickly because they used the most fresh computed root $z^{k+1}_{i}$ , at this reason we used Gauss-seidel iteration.
+Using Equation.\ref{eq:Aberth-H-GS} for the update sub-step of $H(i,z^{k+1})$, we expect the Gauss-Seidel iteration to converge more quickly because, just as its ancestor (for solving linear systems of equations), it uses the most fresh computed roots $z^{k+1}_{i}$.
 
-The steps 4 of the Aberth method compute the convergence of the roots, using(9) formula.
-Both steps 3 and 4 use 1 thread to compute N roots on CPU, which is harmful for the large polynomial's roots finding.
+The $4^{th}$ step of the algorithm checks the convergence condition using Equation.\ref{eq:Aberth-Conv-Cond}.
+Both steps 3 and 4 use 1 thread to compute all the $n$ roots on CPU, which is very harmful for performance in case of the large degree polynomials.
 
 \paragraph{The execution time}
-Let $T_{i}(N)$: the time to compute one new root's value of the step 3,$T_{i}$ depend on the polynomial's degrees N, when N increase $T_{i}$ increase to. We need $N.T_{i}(N)$ to compute all the new root's value in one iteration on the step 3.
+Let $T_{i}(n)$ be the time to compute one new root value at step 3, $T_{i}$ depends on the polynomial's degree $n$. When $n$ increase $T_{i}(n)$ increases too. We need $n.T_{i}(n)$ to compute all the new values in one iteration at step 3.
 
-Let $T_{j}$: the time to compute one root's convergence value of the step 4, we need $N.T_{j}$ to compute all the root's convergence value in one iteration on the step 4.
+Let $T_{j}$ be the time needed to check the convergence of one root value at the step 4, so we need $n.T_{j}$ to compute global convergence condition in each iteration at step 4.
 
-The execution time for both steps 3 and 4 can see like:
+Thus, the execution time for both steps 3 and 4 is:
 \begin{equation}
-T_{exe}=N(T_{i}(N)+T_{j})+O(n).
+T_{iter}=n(T_{i}(n)+T_{j})+O(n).
 \end{equation}
-Let Nbr\_iter the number of iteration necessary to compute all the roots, so the total execution time $Total\_time_{exe}$ can give like:
+Let $K$ be the number of iterations necessary to compute all the roots, so the total execution time $Total\_time$ can be given as:
 
 \begin{equation}
-Total\_time_{exe}=\left[N\left(T_{i}(N)+T_{j}\right)+O(n)\right].Nbr\_iter
+Total\_time=\left[n\left(T_{i}(n)+T_{j}\right)+O(n)\right].K
 \end{equation}
-The execution time increase with the increasing of the polynomial's root, which take necessary to parallelize this step to reduce the execution time. In the following paper you explain how we parrallelize  this step using GPU architecture with CUDA platform.

 \subsubsection{Parallelize the steps on GPU }
 On the CPU Aberth algorithm both steps 3 and 4 contain the loop \verb=for=, it use one thread to execute all the instruction in the loop N times. Here we explain how the GPU architecture can compute this loop and reduce the execution time.
