388 Finding roots of polynomials is a well-known important but not so very easy problem to solve especially for high degrees.
389 In this paper, we present two different parallel approaches to achieve this gaol for sparse and fully defined polynomials of up to 1.4 billion degree. Our two approaches are based on the well known parallel paradigms of OpenMP and MPI but combined with the novel CUDA GPU technology. Our results show a quasi-linear speedup using up to 4 GPU devices to solve four times faster a polynomial root finding problem. To our knowledge, this is the first paper to present this technology mix to solve such a highly demanding problem in parallel programming.

410 \section{Introduction}
411 Polynomials are mathematical algebraic structures that play an important role in science and engineering by capturing physical phenomena and by expressing any outcome as 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 :
414 {\Large p(x)=\sum_{i=0}^{n-1}{a_{i}x^{i}}}.
418 The root finding problem consists in finding the values of all the $n$ different values of the variable $x$ for which \textit{p(x)} is null. Such values are called zeros of $p$. If zeros are $\alpha_{i},\textit{i=1,...,n}$ then $p(x)$ can be written as :
420 {\Large p(x)=a_{n}\prod_{i=1}^{n}(x-\alpha_{i}), a_{0} a_{n}\neq 0}.
423 The problem of finding the roots of polynomials can be encountered in numerous applications. Most of the numerical methods that deal with this problem are simultaneous ones, i.e that find concurrently all of $n$ zeroes. These methods start from the initial approximations of all the roots of the polynomial and give a sequence of approximations that converge to the roots of the polynomial. The first method of this group is Durand-Kerner method:
426 DK: z_i^{k+1}=z_{i}^{k}-\frac{P(z_i^{k})}{\prod_{i\neq j}(z_i^{k}-z_j^{k})}, i = 1, . . . , n,
429 where $z_i^k$ is the $i^{th}$ root of the polynomial $p$ at the
431 Another method discovered by
432 Borsch-Supan~\cite{ Borch-Supan63} and also described and brought
433 in the following form by Ehrlich~\cite{Ehrlich67} and
434 Aberth~\cite{Aberth73} uses a different iteration formula given as:
438 EA: z_i^{k+1}=z_i^{k}-\frac{1}{{\frac {P'(z_i^{k})} {P(z_i^{k})}}-{\sum_{i\neq j}\frac{1}{(z_i^{k}-z_j^{k})}}}, i = 1, . . . , n,
441 where $p'(z)$ is the polynomial derivative of $p$ evaluated in the
444 %Aberth, Ehrlich and Farmer-Loizou~\cite{Loizou83} have proved that
445 %the Ehrlich-Aberth method (EA) has a cubic order of convergence for simple roots whereas the Durand-Kerner has a quadratic order of %convergence.
447 The main problem of the simultaneous methods is that the necessary time needed for the convergence is increased with the increasing of the degree of the polynomial. Many authors have treated the problem of implementing simultaneous methods in parallel. Freeman~\cite{Freeman89} implemented and compared DK, EA and another method of the fourth order proposed by Farmer
448 and Loizou~\cite{Loizou83}, on a 8-processor linear chain, for polynomials of degree up to 8.
449 The third method often diverges, but the first two methods have speed-up equal to 5.5. Later, Freeman and Bane~\cite{Freemanall90} considered asynchronous algorithms, in which each processor continues to update its approximations even though the latest values of other $z^{k}_{i}$ have not been received from the other processors, in contrast with synchronous algorithms where it would wait those values before
450 making a new iteration. Couturier and al.~\cite{Raphaelall01} proposed two methods of parallelization for a shared memory architecture with \textit{OpenMP} and for distributed memory one with \textit{MPI}. They were able to compute the roots of sparse polynomials of degree 10,000 in 116 seconds with \textit{OpenMP} and 135 seconds with \textit{MPI} only by using 8 personal computers and 2 communications per iteration. Comparing to the sequential implementation where it takes up to 3,300 seconds to obtain the same results, the authors show an interesting speedup.
452 Very few work had been performed since then until the appearing of the Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA)~\cite{CUDA10}, a parallel computing platform and a programming model invented by NVIDIA. The computing power of GPUs (Graphics Processing Unit) has exceeded that of CPUs. However, CUDA adopts a totally new computing architecture to use the hardware resources provided by GPU in order to offer a stronger computing ability to the massive data computing. Ghidouche and al~\cite{Kahinall14} proposed an implementation of the Durand-Kerner method on GPU. Their main result showed that a parallel CUDA implementation is about 10 times faster than the sequential implementation on a single CPU for sparse polynomials of degree 48,000.
454 Finding polynomial roots rapidly and accurately is the main objective of our work. In this paper we propose the parallelization of Ehrlich-Aberth method using parallel programming paradigms (OpenMP, MPI) on GPUs. We consider two architectures: shared memory with OpenMP API and distributed memory MPI API. The first approach is based on threads from the same system process, with each thread attached to one GPU and after the various memory allocations, each thread launches its part of computations. To do this we must first load on the GPU required data and after the computations are carried, repatriate the result on the host. The second approach i.e distributed memory with MPI relies on the MPI library which is often used for parallel programming~\cite{Peter96} in
455 cluster systems because it is a message-passing programming language. Each GPU is attached to one MPI process, and a loop is in charge of the distribution of tasks between the MPI processes. This solution can be used on one GPU, or executed on a distributed cluster of GPUs, employing the Message Passing Interface (MPI) to communicate between separate CUDA cards. This solution permits scaling of the problem size to larger classes than would be possible on a single device and demonstrates the performance which users might expect from future
456 HPC architectures where accelerators are deployed.
458 This paper is organized as follows, in section 2 we recall the Ehrlich-Aberth method. In section 3 we present EA algorithm on single GPU. In section 4 we propose the EA algorithm implementation on Multi-GPU for (OpenMP-CUDA) approach and (MPI-CUDA) approach. In section 5 we present our experiments and discus it. Finally, Section~\ref{sec6} concludes this paper and gives some hints for future research directions in this topic.
461 \section{Parallel Programmings Model}
464 Open Multi-Processing (OpenMP) is a shared memory architecture API that provides multi thread capacity~\cite{openmp13}. OpenMP is
465 a portable approach for parallel programming on shared memory systems based on compiler directives, that can be included in order
466 to parallelize a loop. In this way, a set of loops can be distributed along the different threads that will access to different data allocated in local shared memory. One of the advantages of OpenMP is its global view of application memory address space that allows relatively fast development of parallel applications with easier maintenance. However, it is often difficult to get high rates of performance in large scale applications. Although usage of OpenMP threads and managed data explicitly done with MPI can be considered, this approcache undermines the advantages of OpenMP.
469 %OpenMP is a shared memory programming API based on threads from
470 %the same system process. Designed for multiprocessor shared memory UMA or
471 %NUMA [10], it relies on the execution model SPMD ( Single Program, Multiple Data Stream )
472 %where the thread "master" and threads "slaves" asynchronously execute their codes
473 %communicate / synchronize via shared memory [7]. It also helps to build
474 %the loop parallelism and is very suitable for an incremental code parallelization
475 %Sequential natively. Threads share some or all of the available memory and can
476 %have private memory areas [6].
479 The MPI (Message Passing Interface) library allows to create computer programs that run on a distributed memory architecture. The various processes have their own environment of execution and execute their code in a asynchronous way, according to the MIMD model (Multiple Instruction streams, Multiple Data streams); they communicate and synchronize by exchanging messages~\cite{Peter96}. MPI messages are explicitly sent, while the exchanges are implicit within the framework of a multi-thread programming environment like OpenMP or Pthreads.
482 CUDA (an acronym for Compute Unified Device Architecture) is a parallel computing architecture developed by NVIDIA~\cite{CUDA10}. The
483 unit of execution in CUDA is called a thread. Each thread executes a kernel by the streaming processors in parallel. In CUDA,
484 a group of threads that are executed together is called a thread block, and the computational grid consists of a grid of thread
485 blocks. Additionally, a thread block can use the shared memory on a single multiprocessor while the grid executes a single
486 CUDA program logically in parallel. Thus in CUDA programming, it is necessary to design carefully the arrangement of the thread
487 blocks in order to ensure low latency and a proper usage of shared memory, since it can be shared only in a thread block
488 scope. The effective bandwidth of each memory space depends on the memory access pattern. Since the global memory has lower
489 bandwidth than the shared memory, the global memory accesses should be minimized.
492 We introduced three paradigms of parallel programming. Our objective consists in implementing a root finding polynomial algorithm on multiple GPUs. To this end, it is primordial to know how to manage CUDA contexts of different GPUs. A direct method for controlling the various GPUs is to use as many threads or processes as GPU devices. We can choose the GPU index based on the identifier of OpenMP thread or the rank of the MPI process. Both approaches will be investigated.
494 \section{The EA algorithm on a single GPU}
495 \subsection{The EA method}
497 A cubically convergent iteration method to find zeros of
498 polynomials was proposed by O. Aberth~\cite{Aberth73}. The
499 Ehrlich-Aberth (EA is short) method contains 4 main steps, presented in what
502 %The Aberth method is a purely algebraic derivation.
503 %To illustrate the derivation, we let $w_{i}(z)$ be the product of linear factors
506 %w_{i}(z)=\prod_{j=1,j \neq i}^{n} (z-x_{j})
509 %And let a rational function $R_{i}(z)$ be the correction term of the
510 %Weistrass method~\cite{Weierstrass03}
513 %R_{i}(z)=\frac{p(z)}{w_{i}(z)} , i=1,2,...,n.
516 %Differentiating the rational function $R_{i}(z)$ and applying the
517 %Newton method, we have:
520 %\frac{R_{i}(z)}{R_{i}^{'}(z)}= \frac{p(z)}{p^{'}(z)-p(z)\frac{w_{i}(z)}{w_{i}^{'}(z)}}= \frac{p(z)}{p^{'}(z)-p(z) \sum _{j=1,j \neq i}^{n}\frac{1}{z-x_{j}}}, i=1,2,...,n
522 %where R_{i}^{'}(z)is the rational function derivative of F evaluated in the point z
523 %Substituting $x_{j}$ for $z_{j}$ we obtain the Aberth iteration method.%
526 \subsubsection{Polynomials Initialization}
527 The initialization of a polynomial $p(z)$ is done by setting each of the $n$ complex coefficients $a_{i}$:
530 \label{eq:SimplePolynome}
531 p(z)=\sum{a_{i}z^{n-i}} , a_{n} \neq 0,a_{0}=1, a_{i}\subset C
535 \subsubsection{Vector $Z^{(0)}$ Initialization}
536 \label{sec:vec_initialization}
537 As for any iterative method, we need to choose $n$ initial guess points $z^{0}_{i}, i = 1, . . . , n.$
538 The initial guess is very important since the number of steps needed by the iterative method to reach
539 a given approximation strongly depends on it.
540 In~\cite{Aberth73} the Ehrlich-Aberth iteration is started by selecting $n$
541 equi-distant points on a circle of center 0 and radius r, where r is
542 an upper bound to the moduli of the zeros. Later, Bini and al.~\cite{Bini96}
543 performed this choice by selecting complex numbers along different
544 circles which relies on the result of~\cite{Ostrowski41}.
549 \sigma_{0}=\frac{u+v}{2};u=\frac{\sum_{i=1}^{n}u_{i}}{n.max_{i=1}^{n}u_{i}};
550 v=\frac{\sum_{i=0}^{n-1}v_{i}}{n.min_{i=0}^{n-1}v_{i}};\\
555 u_{i}=2.|a_{i}|^{\frac{1}{i}};
556 v_{i}=\frac{|\frac{a_{n}}{a_{i}}|^{\frac{1}{n-i}}}{2}.
559 \subsubsection{Iterative Function}
560 The operator used by the Aberth method corresponds to the
561 equation~\ref{Eq:EA1}, it enables the convergence towards
562 the polynomials zeros, provided all the roots are distinct.
564 %Here we give a second form of the iterative function used by the Ehrlich-Aberth method:
568 EA: z^{k+1}_{i}=z_{i}^{k}-\frac{\frac{p(z_{i}^{k})}{p'(z_{i}^{k})}}
569 {1-\frac{p(z_{i}^{k})}{p'(z_{i}^{k})}\sum_{j=1,j\neq i}^{j=n}{\frac{1}{(z_{i}^{k}-z_{j}^{k})}}}, i=1,. . . .,n
572 \subsubsection{Convergence Condition}
573 The convergence condition determines the termination of the algorithm. It consists in stopping the iterative function when the roots are sufficiently stable. We consider that the method converges sufficiently when:
576 \label{eq:Aberth-Conv-Cond}
577 \forall i \in [1,n];\vert\frac{z_{i}^{k}-z_{i}^{k-1}}{z_{i}^{k}}\vert<\xi

593 \subsection{EA parallel implementation on CUDA}
594 Like any parallel code, a GPU parallel implementation first
595 requires to determine the sequential tasks and the
596 parallelizable parts of the sequential version of the
597 program/algorithm. In our case, all the operations that are easy
598 to execute in parallel must be made by the GPU to accelerate
599 the execution of the application, like the step 3 and step 4. On the other hand, all the
600 sequential operations and the operations that have data
601 dependencies between threads or recursive computations must
602 be executed by only one CUDA or CPU thread (step 1 and step 2). Initially, we specify the organization of parallel threads, by specifying the dimension of the grid Dimgrid, the number of blocks per grid DimBlock and the number of threads per block.
604 The code is organzed by what is named kernels, portions o code that are run on GPU devices. For step 3, there are two kernels, the
605 first named \textit{save} is used to save vector $Z^{K-1}$ and the seconde one is named
606 \textit{update} and is used to update the $Z^{K}$ vector. For step 4, a kernel
607 tests the convergence of the method. In order to
608 compute the function H, we have two possibilities: either to use
609 the Jacobi mode, or the Gauss-Seidel mode of iterating which uses the
610 most recent computed roots. It is well known that the Gauss-
611 Seidel mode converges more quickly. So, we used the Gauss-Seidel mode of iteration. To
612 parallelize the code, we created kernels and many functions to
613 be executed on the GPU for all the operations dealing with the
614 computation on complex numbers and the evaluation of the
615 polynomials. As said previously, we managed both functions
616 of evaluation of a polynomial: the normal method, based on
617 the method of Horner and the method based on the logarithm
618 of the polynomial. All these methods were rather long to
619 implement, as the development of corresponding kernels with
620 CUDA is longer than on a CPU host. This comes in particular
621 from the fact that it is very difficult to debug CUDA running
622 threads like threads on a CPU host. In the following paragraph
623 Algorithm~\ref{alg1-cuda} shows the GPU parallel implementation of Ehrlich-Aberth method.

658 \section{The EA algorithm on Multi-GPU}
660 \subsection{MGPU : an OpenMP-CUDA approach}
661 Our OpenMP-CUDA implementation of EA algorithm is based on the hybrid OpenMP and CUDA programming model. It works as follows.
662 Based on the metadata, a shared memory is used to make data evenly shared among OpenMP threads. The shared data are the solution vector $Z$, the polynomial to solve $P$, and the error vector $\Delta z$. Let (T\_omp) the number of OpenMP threads be equal to the number of GPUs, each OpenMP thread binds to one GPU, and controls a part of the shared memory, that is a part of the vector Z , that is $(n/num\_gpu)$ roots where $n$ is the polynomial's degree and $num\_gpu$ the total number of available GPUs. Each OpenMP thread copies its data from host memory to GPU’s device memory.Then every GPU will have a grid of computation organized according to the device performance and the size of data on which it runs the computation kernels. %In principle a grid is set by two parameter DimGrid, the number of block per grid, DimBloc: the number of threads per block. The following schema shows the architecture of (CUDA,OpenMP).

670 %Each thread OpenMP compute the kernels on GPUs,than after each iteration they copy out the data from GPU memory to CPU shared memory. The kernels are re-runs is up to the roots converge sufficiently. Here are below the corresponding algorithm:
672 $num\_gpus$ OpenMP threads are created using \verb=omp_set_num_threads();=function (step $3$, Algorithm \ref{alg2-cuda-openmp}), the shared memory is created using \verb=#pragma omp parallel shared()= OpenMP function (line $5$, Algorithm\ref{alg2-cuda-openmp}), then each OpenMP thread allocates memory and copies initial data from CPU memory to GPU global memory, executes the kernels on GPU, but computes only his portion of roots indicated with variable \textit{index} initialized in (line 5, Algorithm \ref{alg2-cuda-openmp}), used as input data in the $kernel\_update$ (line 10, Algorithm \ref{alg2-cuda-openmp}). After each iteration, all OpenMP threads synchronize using \verb=#pragma omp barrier;= to gather all the correct values of $\Delta z$, thus allowing the computation the maximum stop condition on vector $\Delta z$ (line 12, Algorithm \ref{alg2-cuda-openmp}). Finally, threads copy the results from GPU memories to CPU memory. The OpenMP threads execute kernels until the roots sufficiently converge.

713 %\begin{figure}[htbp]
715 % \includegraphics[angle=-90,width=0.2\textwidth]{MPI-CUDA}
716 %\caption{The MPI-CUDA architecture }
719 Our parallel implementation of EA to find root of polynomials using a CUDA-MPI approach is a data parallel approach. It splits input data of the polynomial to solve among MPI processes. In Algorithm \ref{alg2-cuda-mpi}, input data are the polynomial to solve $P$, the solution vector $Z$, the previous solution vector $ZPrev$, and the value of errors of stop condition $\Delta z$. Let $p$ denote the number of MPI processes on and $n$ the degree of the polynomial to be solved. The algorithm performs a simple data partitioning by creating $p$ portions, of at most $⌈n/p⌉$ roots to find per MPI process, for each $Z$ and $ZPrec$. Consequently, each MPI process of rank $k$ will have its own solution vector $Z_{k}$ and $ZPrec$, the error related to the stop condition $\Delta z_{k}$, enabling each MPI process to compute $⌈n/p⌉$ roots.
721 Since a GPU works only on data already allocated in its memory, all local input data, $Z_{k}$, $ZPrec$ and $\Delta z_{k}$, must be transferred from CPU memories to the corresponding GPU memories. Afterwards, the same EA algorithm (Algorithm \ref{alg1-cuda}) is run by all processes but on different polynomial subset of roots $ p(x)_{k}=\sum_{i=1}^{n} a_{i}x^{i}, k=1,...,p$. Each MPI process executes the loop \verb=(While(...)...do)= containing the CUDA kernels but each MPI process computes only its own portion of the roots according to the rule ``''owner computes``''. The local range of roots is indicated with the \textit{index} variable initialized at (line 5, Algorithm \ref{alg2-cuda-mpi}), and passed as an input variable to $kernel\_update$ (line 10, Algorithm \ref{alg2-cuda-mpi}). After each iteration, MPI processes synchronize (\verb=MPI_Allreduce= function) by a reduction on $\Delta z_{k}$ in order to compute the maximum error related to the stop condition. Finally, processes copy the values of new computed roots from GPU memories to CPU memories, then communicate their results to other processes with \verb=MPI_Alltoall= broadcast. If the stop condition is not verified ($error > \epsilon$) then processes stay withing the loop \verb= while(...)...do= until all the roots sufficiently converge.

756 \section{Experiments}
757 We study two categories of polynomials: sparse polynomials and full polynomials.\\
758 {\it A sparse polynomial} is a polynomial for which only some coefficients are not null. In this paper, we consider sparse polynomials for which the roots are distributed on 2 distinct circles:
760 \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})
761 \end{equation}\noindent
762 {\it A full polynomial} is, in contrast, a polynomial for which all the coefficients are not null. A full polynomial is defined by:
764 %%\forall \alpha_{i} \in C,\forall n_{i}\in N^{*}; P(z)= \sum^{n}_{i=1}(z^{n^{i}}.a_{i})
768 {\Large \forall a_{i} \in C, i\in N; p(x)=\sum^{n}_{i=0} a_{i}.x^{i}}
770 For our tests, a CPU Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5620@2.40GHz and a GPU K40 (with 6 Go of ram) are used.
771 %SIDER : Une meilleure présentation de l'architecture est à faire ici.
773 In order to evaluate both the MGPU and Multi-GPU approaches, we performed a set of experiments on a single GPU and multiple GPUs using OpenMP or MPI by EA algorithm, for both sparse and full polynomials of different sizes.
774 All experimental results obtained are made in double precision data, the convergence threshold of the methods is set to $10^{-7}$.
775 %Since we were more interested in the comparison of the
776 %performance behaviors of Ehrlich-Aberth and Durand-Kerner methods on
777 %CPUs versus on GPUs.
778 The initialization values of the vector solution
779 of the methods are given in %Section~\ref{sec:vec_initialization}.
781 \subsection{Evaluating the M-GPU (CUDA-OpenMP) approach}
783 We report here the results of the set of experiments with M-GPU approach for full and sparse polynomials of different degrees, and we compare it with a Single GPU execution.
784 \subsubsection{Execution times in seconds of the EA method for solving sparse polynomials on GPUs using shared memory paradigm with OpenMP}
786 In this experiments we report the execution time of the EA algorithm, on single GPU and Multi-GPU with (2,3,4) GPUs, for different sparse polynomial degrees ranging from 100,000 to 1,400,000.
790 \includegraphics[angle=-90,width=0.5\textwidth]{Sparse_omp}
791 \caption{Execution times in seconds of the Ehrlich-Aberth method for solving sparse polynomials on GPUs using shared memory paradigm with OpenMP}
795 This figure~\ref{fig:01} shows that the (CUDA-OpenMP) Multi-GPU approach reduces the execution time by a factor up to 100 w.r.t the single GPU apparaoch and a by a factor of 1000 for polynomials exceeding degree 1,000,000. It shows the advantage to use the OpenMP parallel paradigm to gather the capabilities of several GPUs and solve polynomials of very high degrees.
797 \subsubsection{Execution times in seconds of the Ehrlich-Aberth method for solving full polynomials on GPUs using shared memory paradigm with OpenMP}
799 The experiments shows the execution time of the EA algorithm, on a single GPU and on multiple GPUs using the CUDA OpenMP approach for full polynomials of degrees ranging from 100,000 to 1,400,000.
803 \includegraphics[angle=-90,width=0.5\textwidth]{Full_omp}
804 \caption{Execution times in seconds of the Ehrlich-Aberth method for solving full polynomials on multiple GPUs using shared memory paradigm with OpenMP}
808 Results with full polynomials show very important savings in execution time. For a polynomial of degree 1,4 million, the CUDA-OpenMP approach with 4 GPUs solves it 4 times as fast as single GPU, thus achieving a quasi-linear speedup.
810 \subsection{Evaluting the Multi-GPU (CUDA-MPI) approach}
811 In this part we perform a set of experiments to compare Multi-GPU (CUDA MPI) approach with single GPU, for solving full and sparse polynomials of degrees ranging from 100,000 to 1,400,000.
813 \subsubsection{Execution times in seconds of the Ehrlich-Aberth method for solving sparse polynomials on GPUs using distributed memory paradigm with MPI}
817 \includegraphics[angle=-90,width=0.5\textwidth]{Sparse_mpi}
818 \caption{Execution times in seconds of the Ehrlich-Aberth method for solving sparse polynomials on GPUs using distributed memory paradigm with MPI}
822 This figure shows 4 curves of execution time of EA algorithm, a curve with single GPU, 3 curves with multiple GPUs (2, 3, 4). We can clearly see that the curve with single GPU is above the other curves, which shows consumption in execution time compared to the Multi-GPU. We can see also that the CUDA-MPI approach reduces the execution time by a factor of 100 for polynomials of degree more than 1,000,000 whereas a single GPU is of the scale 1000.
823 %%SIDER : Je n'ai pas reformuler car je n'ai pas compris la phrase, merci de l'ecrire ici en fran\cais.
825 \subsubsection{Execution times in seconds of the Ehrlich-Aberth method for solving full polynomials on GPUs using distributed memory paradigm with MPI}
829 \includegraphics[angle=-90,width=0.5\textwidth]{Full_mpi}
830 \caption{Execution times in seconds of the Ehrlich-Aberth method for full polynomials on GPUs using distributed memory paradigm with MPI}
833 %SIDER : Corriger le point de la courbe 3-GPUs qui correpsond à un degré de 600000
835 Figure \ref{fig:04} shows the execution time of the algorithm on single GPU and on multipe GPUs with (2, 3, 4) GPUs for full polynomials. With the CUDA-MPI approach, we notice that the three curves are distinct from each other, more we use GPUs more the execution time decreases. On the other hand the curve with a single GPU is well above the other curves.
837 This is due to the use of MPI parallel paradigm that divides the problem computations and assigns portions to each GPU. But unlike the single GPU which carries all the computations on a single GPU, data communications are introduced, consequently engendering more execution time. But experiments show that execution time is still highly reduced.

968 In this paper, we have presented a parallel implementation of Ehrlich-Aberth algorithm for solving full and sparse polynomials, on single GPU with CUDA and on multiple GPUs using two parallel paradigms : shared memory with OpenMP and distributed memory with MPI. These architectures were addressed by a CUDA-OpenMP approach and CUDA-MPI approach, respectively.
