\documentclass[conference]{IEEEtran}
% Some Computer Society conferences also require the compsoc mode option,
% but others use the standard conference format.

% Some very useful LaTeX packages include:
% (uncomment the ones you want to load)


% *** MISC UTILITY PACKAGES ***
%
%\usepackage{ifpdf}
% Heiko Oberdiek's ifpdf.sty is very useful if you need conditional
% compilation based on whether the output is pdf or dvi.
% usage:
% \ifpdf
%   % pdf code
% \else
%   % dvi code
% \fi
% The latest version of ifpdf.sty can be obtained from:
% http://www.ctan.org/pkg/ifpdf
% Also, note that IEEEtran.cls V1.7 and later provides a builtin
% \ifCLASSINFOpdf conditional that works the same way.
% When switching from latex to pdflatex and vice-versa, the compiler may
% have to be run twice to clear warning/error messages.






% *** CITATION PACKAGES ***
%
%\usepackage{cite}
% cite.sty was written by Donald Arseneau
% V1.6 and later of IEEEtran pre-defines the format of the cite.sty package
% \cite{} output to follow that of the IEEE. Loading the cite package will
% result in citation numbers being automatically sorted and properly
% "compressed/ranged". e.g., [1], [9], [2], [7], [5], [6] without using
% cite.sty will become [1], [2], [5]--[7], [9] using cite.sty. cite.sty's
% \cite will automatically add leading space, if needed. Use cite.sty's
% noadjust option (cite.sty V3.8 and later) if you want to turn this off
% such as if a citation ever needs to be enclosed in parenthesis.
% cite.sty is already installed on most LaTeX systems. Be sure and use
% version 5.0 (2009-03-20) and later if using hyperref.sty.
% The latest version can be obtained at:
% http://www.ctan.org/pkg/cite
% The documentation is contained in the cite.sty file itself.






% *** GRAPHICS RELATED PACKAGES ***
%
\ifCLASSINFOpdf
   \usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}
   
  % declare the path(s) where your graphic files are
  % \graphicspath{{../pdf/}{../jpeg/}}
  % and their extensions so you won't have to specify these with
  % every instance of \includegraphics
  % \DeclareGraphicsExtensions{.pdf,.jpeg,.png}
\else
  % or other class option (dvipsone, dvipdf, if not using dvips). graphicx
  % will default to the driver specified in the system graphics.cfg if no
  % driver is specified.
  % \usepackage[dvips]{graphicx}
  % declare the path(s) where your graphic files are
  % \graphicspath{{../eps/}}
  % and their extensions so you won't have to specify these with

% graphicx was written by David Carlisle and Sebastian Rahtz. It is
% required if you want graphics, photos, etc. graphicx.sty is already
% installed on most LaTeX systems. The latest version and documentation
% can be obtained at: 
% http://www.ctan.org/pkg/graphicx
% Another good source of documentation is "Using Imported Graphics in
% LaTeX2e" by Keith Reckdahl which can be found at:
% http://www.ctan.org/pkg/epslatex
%
% latex, and pdflatex in dvi mode, support graphics in encapsulated
% postscript (.eps) format. pdflatex in pdf mode supports graphics
% in .pdf, .jpeg, .png and .mps (metapost) formats. Users should ensure
% that all non-photo figures use a vector format (.eps, .pdf, .mps) and
% not a bitmapped formats (.jpeg, .png). The IEEE frowns on bitmapped formats
% which can result in "jaggedy"/blurry rendering of lines and letters as
% well as large increases in file sizes.
%
% You can find documentation about the pdfTeX application at:
% http://www.tug.org/applications/pdftex





% *** MATH PACKAGES ***
%
\usepackage{amsmath}
% A popular package from the American Mathematical Society that provides
% many useful and powerful commands for dealing with mathematics.
%
% Note that the amsmath package sets \interdisplaylinepenalty to 10000
% thus preventing page breaks from occurring within multiline equations. Use:
%\interdisplaylinepenalty=2500
% after loading amsmath to restore such page breaks as IEEEtran.cls normally
% does. amsmath.sty is already installed on most LaTeX systems. The latest
% version and documentation can be obtained at:
% http://www.ctan.org/pkg/amsmath





% *** SPECIALIZED LIST PACKAGES ***
%

% algorithmic.sty was written by Peter Williams and Rogerio Brito.
% This package provides an algorithmic environment fo describing algorithms.
% You can use the algorithmic environment in-text or within a figure
% environment to provide for a floating algorithm. Do NOT use the algorithm
% floating environment provided by algorithm.sty (by the same authors) or
% algorithm2e.sty (by Christophe Fiorio) as the IEEE does not use dedicated
% algorithm float types and packages that provide these will not provide
% correct IEEE style captions. The latest version and documentation of
% algorithmic.sty can be obtained at:
% http://www.ctan.org/pkg/algorithms
% Also of interest may be the (relatively newer and more customizable)
% algorithmicx.sty package by Szasz Janos:
% http://www.ctan.org/pkg/algorithmicx
\usepackage[ruled,vlined]{algorithm2e}



% *** ALIGNMENT PACKAGES ***
%
%\usepackage{array}
% Frank Mittelbach's and David Carlisle's array.sty patches and improves
% the standard LaTeX2e array and tabular environments to provide better
% appearance and additional user controls. As the default LaTeX2e table
% generation code is lacking to the point of almost being broken with
% respect to the quality of the end results, all users are strongly
% advised to use an enhanced (at the very least that provided by array.sty)
% set of table tools. array.sty is already installed on most systems. The
% latest version and documentation can be obtained at:
% http://www.ctan.org/pkg/array


% IEEEtran contains the IEEEeqnarray family of commands that can be used to
% generate multiline equations as well as matrices, tables, etc., of high
% quality.




% *** SUBFIGURE PACKAGES ***
%\ifCLASSOPTIONcompsoc
%  \usepackage[caption=false,font=normalsize,labelfont=sf,textfont=sf]{subfig}
%\else
%  \usepackage[caption=false,font=footnotesize]{subfig}
%\fi
% subfig.sty, written by Steven Douglas Cochran, is the modern replacement
% for subfigure.sty, the latter of which is no longer maintained and is
% incompatible with some LaTeX packages including fixltx2e. However,
% subfig.sty requires and automatically loads Axel Sommerfeldt's caption.sty
% which will override IEEEtran.cls' handling of captions and this will result
% in non-IEEE style figure/table captions. To prevent this problem, be sure
% and invoke subfig.sty's "caption=false" package option (available since
% subfig.sty version 1.3, 2005/06/28) as this is will preserve IEEEtran.cls
% handling of captions.
% Note that the Computer Society format requires a larger sans serif font
% than the serif footnote size font used in traditional IEEE formatting
% and thus the need to invoke different subfig.sty package options depending
% on whether compsoc mode has been enabled.
%
% The latest version and documentation of subfig.sty can be obtained at:
% http://www.ctan.org/pkg/subfig




% *** FLOAT PACKAGES ***
%
%\usepackage{fixltx2e}
% fixltx2e, the successor to the earlier fix2col.sty, was written by
% Frank Mittelbach and David Carlisle. This package corrects a few problems
% in the LaTeX2e kernel, the most notable of which is that in current
% LaTeX2e releases, the ordering of single and double column floats is not
% guaranteed to be preserved. Thus, an unpatched LaTeX2e can allow a
% single column figure to be placed prior to an earlier double column
% figure.
% Be aware that LaTeX2e kernels dated 2015 and later have fixltx2e.sty's
% corrections already built into the system in which case a warning will
% be issued if an attempt is made to load fixltx2e.sty as it is no longer
% needed.
% The latest version and documentation can be found at:
% http://www.ctan.org/pkg/fixltx2e


%\usepackage{stfloats}
% stfloats.sty was written by Sigitas Tolusis. This package gives LaTeX2e
% the ability to do double column floats at the bottom of the page as well
% as the top. (e.g., "\begin{figure*}[!b]" is not normally possible in
% LaTeX2e). It also provides a command:
%\fnbelowfloat
% to enable the placement of footnotes below bottom floats (the standard
% LaTeX2e kernel puts them above bottom floats). This is an invasive package
% which rewrites many portions of the LaTeX2e float routines. It may not work
% with other packages that modify the LaTeX2e float routines. The latest
% version and documentation can be obtained at:
% http://www.ctan.org/pkg/stfloats
% Do not use the stfloats baselinefloat ability as the IEEE does not allow
% \baselineskip to stretch. Authors submitting work to the IEEE should note
% that the IEEE rarely uses double column equations and that authors should try
% to avoid such use. Do not be tempted to use the cuted.sty or midfloat.sty
% packages (also by Sigitas Tolusis) as the IEEE does not format its papers in
% such ways.
% Do not attempt to use stfloats with fixltx2e as they are incompatible.
% Instead, use Morten Hogholm'a dblfloatfix which combines the features
% of both fixltx2e and stfloats:
%
% \usepackage{dblfloatfix}
% The latest version can be found at:
% http://www.ctan.org/pkg/dblfloatfix




% *** PDF, URL AND HYPERLINK PACKAGES ***
%
%\usepackage{url}
% url.sty was written by Donald Arseneau. It provides better support for
% handling and breaking URLs. url.sty is already installed on most LaTeX
% systems. The latest version and documentation can be obtained at:
% http://www.ctan.org/pkg/url
% Basically, \url{my_url_here}.




% *** Do not adjust lengths that control margins, column widths, etc. ***
% *** Do not use packages that alter fonts (such as pslatex).         ***
% There should be no need to do such things with IEEEtran.cls V1.6 and later.
% (Unless specifically asked to do so by the journal or conference you plan
% to submit to, of course. )

\begin{abstract}
Finding roots of polynomials is a very important part of solving
real-life problems but it is not so easy for polynomials of high
degrees. In this paper, we present two different parallel algorithms
of the Ehrlich-Aberth method to find roots of sparse and fully defined
polynomials of high degrees. Both algorithms are based on CUDA
technology to be implemented on multi-GPU computing platforms but each
using different parallel paradigms: OpenMP or MPI. The experiments
show a quasi-linear speedup by using up-to 4 GPU devices compared to 1
GPU to find roots of polynomials of degree up-to 1.4
million. Moreover, other experiments show it is possible to find roots
of polynomials of degree up-to 5 millions.

\section{Introduction}
%Polynomials are mathematical algebraic structures that play an important role in science and engineering by capturing physical phenomena and expressing any outcome as a function of some unknown variables. Formally speaking, a polynomial $p(x)$ of degree $n$ having $n$ coefficients in the complex plane $\mathbb{C}$ is:
%\begin{equation}
%p(x)=\sum_{i=0}^{n}{a_ix^i}.
%\end{equation}
%\LZK{Dans ce cas le polynôme a $n+1$ coefficients et non pas $n$!}

%The issue of finding the roots of polynomials of very high degrees arises in many complex problems in various fields, such as algebra, biology, finance, physics or climatology [1]. In algebra for example, finding eigenvalues or eigenvectors of any real/complex matrix amounts to that of finding the roots of the so-called characteristic polynomial.

Finding roots of polynomials of very high degrees arises in many complex problems in various domains such as algebra, biology or physics. A polynomial $p(x)$ in $\mathbb{C}$ in one variable $x$ is an algebraic expression in $x$ of the form:
\begin{equation}
p(x) = \displaystyle\sum^n_{i=0}{a_ix^i},a_n\neq 0, 
\end{equation}
where $\{a_i\}_{0\leq i\leq n}$ are complex coefficients and $n$ is a high integer number. If $a_n\neq0$ then $n$ is called the degree of the polynomial. The root-finding problem consists in finding the $n$ different values of the unknown variable $x$ for which $p(x)=0$. Such values are called roots of $p(x)$. Let $\{z_i\}_{1\leq i\leq n}$ be the roots of polynomial $p(x)$, then $p(x)$ can be written as :
\begin{equation}
 p(x)=a_n\displaystyle\prod_{i=1}^n(x-z_i), a_n\neq 0.
\end{equation}
%\LZK{Pourquoi $a_0a_n\neq 0$ ?: $a_0$ pour la premiere equation et $a_n$ pour la deuxieme equation }

%The problem of finding the roots of polynomials can be encountered in numerous applications. \LZK{A mon avis on peut supprimer cette phrase}
Most of the numerical methods that deal with the polynomial root-finding problem are simultaneous methods, \textit{i.e.} the iterative methods to find simultaneous approximations of the $n$ polynomial roots. These methods start from the initial approximations of all $n$ polynomial roots and give a sequence of approximations that converge to the roots of the polynomial. Two examples of well-known simultaneous methods for root-finding problem of polynomials are  Durand-Kerner method~\cite{Durand60,Kerner66} and Ehrlich-Aberth method~\cite{Ehrlich67,Aberth73}.
%\LZK{Pouvez-vous donner des références pour les deux méthodes?, c'est fait}

%The first method of this group is Durand-Kerner method:
%\begin{equation}
%\label{DK}
% 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, \ldots, n,
%\end{equation}
%where $z_i^k$ is the $i^{th}$ root of the polynomial $p$ at the iteration $k$. Another method discovered by Borsch-Supan~\cite{ Borch-Supan63} and also described by Ehrlich~\cite{Ehrlich67} and Aberth~\cite{Aberth73} uses a different iteration form as follows:
%%\begin{center}
%\begin{equation}
%\label{Eq:EA}
 %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, \ldots, n,
%\end{equation}
%%\end{center}
%where $p'(z)$ is the polynomial derivative of $p$ evaluated in the point $z$.

%Aberth, Ehrlich and Farmer-Loizou~\cite{Loizou83} 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.

The main problem of the simultaneous methods is that the necessary
time needed for the convergence increases with the increasing of the
polynomial's degree. Many authors have treated the problem of
implementing  simultaneous methods in
parallel. Freeman~\cite{Freeman89} implemented and compared
Durand-Kerner method, Ehrlich-Aberth method and another method of the
fourth order of convergence proposed by Farmer and
Loizou~\cite{Loizou83} on a 8-processor linear chain, for polynomials
of degree up-to 8. The method of Farmer and Loizou~\cite{Loizou83}
often diverges, but the first two methods (Durand-Kerner and
Ehrlich-Aberth methods) have a speed-up equals 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 approximations $z^{k}_{i}$ have not
been received from the other processors, in contrast with synchronous
algorithms where it would wait those values before making a new
iteration. Couturier et al.~\cite{Raphaelall01} proposed two methods
of parallelization for a shared memory architecture with OpenMP and
for a distributed memory one with MPI. They are able to compute the
roots of sparse polynomials of degree 10,000 in 116 seconds with
OpenMP and 135 seconds with MPI only by using 8 personal computers and
2 communications per iteration. The authors showed an interesting
speedup comparing to the sequential implementation which takes up-to
3,300 seconds to obtain same results. 
\RC{si on donne des temps faut donner le proc, comme c'est vieux à mon avis faut supprimer ca, votre avis?} 
\LZK{Supprimons ces détails et mettons une référence s'il y en a une}

Very few work had been performed since then until the appearing of the Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA)~\cite{CUDA15}, a parallel computing platform and a programming model invented by NVIDIA. The computing power of GPUs (Graphics Processing Units) has exceeded that of traditional processors CPUs. However, CUDA adopts a totally new computing architecture to use the hardware resources provided by the GPU in order to offer a stronger computing ability to the massive data computing. Ghidouche et al.~\cite{Kahinall14} proposed an implementation of the Durand-Kerner method on a single GPU. Their main results 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.

%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 two parallel programming paradigms OpenMP and MPI on multi-GPU platforms. We consider two architectures: shared memory and distributed memory computers. The first parallel algorithm is implemented on shared memory computers by using OpenMP API. It is based on threads created from the same system process, such that each thread is attached to one GPU. In this case the communications between GPUs are done by OpenMP threads through shared memory. The second parallel algorithm uses the MPI API, such that each GPU is attached and managed by a MPI process. The GPUs exchange their data by message-passing communications. This latter approach is more used on distributed memory clusters to solve very complex problems that are too large for traditional supercomputers, which are very expensive to build and run.

\section{Parallel programming models}
\label{sec2}
Our objective consists in implementing a root-finding algorithm of polynomials 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 investigate two parallel paradigms: OpenMP and MPI. In this case, the GPU indices are defined according to the identifiers of the OpenMP threads or the ranks of the MPI processes. In this section we present the parallel programming models: OpenMP, MPI and CUDA.
 
\subsection{OpenMP}
%Open Multi-Processing (OpenMP) is a shared memory architecture API that provides multi thread capacity~\cite{openmp13}. OpenMP is a portable approach for parallel programming on shared memory systems based on compiler directives, that can be included in order 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.

%\subsection{OpenMP} 
%OpenMP is a shared memory programming API based on threads from
%the same system process. Designed for multiprocessor shared memory UMA or
%NUMA [10], it relies on the execution model SPMD ( Single Program, Multiple Data Stream )
%where the thread "master" and threads "slaves" asynchronously execute their codes
%communicate / synchronize via shared memory [7]. It also helps to build
%the loop parallelism and is very suitable for an incremental code parallelization
%Sequential natively. Threads share some or all of the available memory and can
%have private memory areas [6].

OpenMP (Open Multi-processing) is an application programming interface for parallel programming~\cite{openmp13}. It is a portable approach based on the multithreading designed for shared memory computers, where a master thread forks a number of slave threads which execute blocks of code in parallel. An OpenMP program alternates sequential regions and parallel regions of code, where the sequential regions are executed by the master thread and the parallel ones may be executed by multiple threads. During the execution of an OpenMP program the threads communicate their data (read and modified) in the shared memory. One advantage of OpenMP is the global view of the memory address space of an application. This allows relatively a fast development of parallel applications with easier maintenance. However, it is often difficult to get high rates of performances in large scale-applications. 

\subsection{MPI} 
%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.

MPI (Message Passing Interface) is a portable message passing style of the parallel programming designed especially for the distributed memory architectures~\cite{Peter96}. In most MPI implementations, a computation contains a fixed set of processes created at the initialization of the program in such way one process is created per processor. The processes synchronize their computations and communicate by sending/receiving messages to/from other processes. In this case, the data are explicitly exchanged by message passing while the data exchanges are implicit in a multithread programming model like OpenMP and Pthreads. However in the MPI programming model, the processes may either execute different programs referred to as multiple program multiple data (MPMD) or every process executes the same program (SPMD). The MPI approach is one of most used HPC programming model to solve large scale and complex applications.
 
\subsection{CUDA}
%CUDA (is an acronym of the Compute Unified Device Architecture) is a parallel computing architecture developed by NVIDIA~\cite{CUDA10}.The unit of execution in CUDA is called a thread. Each thread executes a kernel by the streaming processors in parallel. In CUDA, a group of threads that are executed together is called a thread block, and the computational grid consists of a grid of thread blocks. Additionally, a thread block can use the shared memory on a single multiprocessor while the grid executes a single CUDA program logically in parallel. Thus in CUDA programming, it is necessary to design carefully the arrangement of the thread blocks in order to ensure low latency and a proper usage of shared memory, since it can be shared only in a thread block scope. The effective bandwidth of each memory space depends on the memory access pattern. Since the global memory has lower bandwidth than the shared memory, the global memory accesses should be minimized.

CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture) is a parallel computing architecture developed by NVIDIA~\cite{CUDA15} for GPUs. It provides a high level GPGPU-based programming model to program GPUs for general purpose computations and non-graphic applications. The GPU is viewed as an accelerator such that data-parallel operations of a CUDA program running on a CPU are off-loaded onto GPU and executed by this later. The data-parallel operations executed by GPUs are called kernels. The same kernel is executed in parallel by a large number of threads organized in grids of thread blocks, such that each GPU multiprocessor executes one or more thread blocks in SIMD fashion (Single Instruction, Multiple Data) and in turn each core of the multiprocessor executes one or more threads within a block. Threads within a block can cooperate by sharing data through a fast shared memory and coordinate their execution through synchronization points. In contrast, within a grid of thread blocks, there is no synchronization at all between blocks. The GPU only works on data filled in the global memory and the final results of the kernel executions must be transferred out of the GPU. In the GPU, the global memory has lower bandwidth than the shared memory associated to each multiprocessor. Thus in the CUDA programming, it is necessary to design carefully the arrangement of the thread blocks in order to ensure low latency and a proper usage of the shared memory, and the global memory accesses should be minimized.

%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.

\section{The Ehrlich-Aberth algorithm on a GPU}
\label{sec3}

\subsection{The Ehrlich-Aberth method}
%A cubically convergent iteration method to find zeros of
%polynomials was proposed by O. Aberth~\cite{Aberth73}. The
%Ehrlich-Aberth (EA is short) method contains 4 main steps, presented in what
%follows.

%The Aberth method is a purely algebraic derivation. 
%To illustrate the derivation, we let $w_{i}(z)$ be the product of linear factors 

%\begin{equation}
%w_{i}(z)=\prod_{j=1,j \neq i}^{n} (z-x_{j})
%\end{equation}

%And let a rational function $R_{i}(z)$ be the correction term of the
%Weistrass method~\cite{Weierstrass03}

%\begin{equation}
%R_{i}(z)=\frac{p(z)}{w_{i}(z)} , i=1,2,...,n.
%\end{equation}

%Differentiating the rational function $R_{i}(z)$ and applying the
%Newton method, we have:

%\begin{equation}
%\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
%\end{equation}
%where R_{i}^{'}(z)is the rational function derivative of F evaluated in the point z 
%Substituting $x_{j}$ for $z_{j}$ we obtain the Aberth iteration method.% 


%\subsubsection{Polynomials Initialization}
%The initialization of a polynomial $p(z)$ is done by setting each of the $n$ complex coefficients %$a_{i}$:

%\begin{equation}
%\label{eq:SimplePolynome}
%  p(z)=\sum{a_{i}z^{n-i}} , a_{n} \neq 0,a_{0}=1, a_{i}\subset C
%\end{equation}


%\subsubsection{Vector $Z^{(0)}$ Initialization}
%\label{sec:vec_initialization}
%As for any iterative method, we need to choose $n$ initial guess points $z^{0}_{i}, i = 1, . . . , %n.$
%The initial guess is very important since the number of steps needed by the iterative method to %reach
%a given approximation strongly depends on it.
%In~\cite{Aberth73} the Ehrlich-Aberth iteration is started by selecting $n$
%equi-distant points on a circle of center 0 and radius r, where r is
%an upper bound to the moduli of the zeros. Later, Bini and al.~\cite{Bini96}
%performed this choice by selecting complex numbers along different
%circles which relies on the result of~\cite{Ostrowski41}.

%\begin{equation}
%\label{eq:radiusR}
%%\begin{align}
%\sigma_{0}=\frac{u+v}{2};u=\frac{\sum_{i=1}^{n}u_{i}}{n.max_{i=1}^{n}u_{i}};
%v=\frac{\sum_{i=0}^{n-1}v_{i}}{n.min_{i=0}^{n-1}v_{i}};\\
%%\end{align}
%\end{equation}
%Where:
%\begin{equation}
%u_{i}=2.|a_{i}|^{\frac{1}{i}};
%v_{i}=\frac{|\frac{a_{n}}{a_{i}}|^{\frac{1}{n-i}}}{2}.
%\end{equation}

%\subsubsection{Iterative Function}
%The operator used by the Aberth method  corresponds to the
%equation~\ref{Eq:EA1}, it enables the convergence towards
%the polynomials zeros, provided all the roots are distinct.

%Here we give a second form of the iterative function used by the Ehrlich-Aberth method: 

%\begin{equation}
%\label{Eq:EA-1}
%EA: z^{k+1}_{i}=z_{i}^{k}-\frac{\frac{p(z_{i}^{k})}{p'(z_{i}^{k})}}
%{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
%\end{equation}

%\subsubsection{Convergence Condition}
%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:

%\begin{equation}
%\label{eq:AAberth-Conv-Cond}
%\forall i \in [1,n];\vert\frac{z_{i}^{k}-z_{i}^{k-1}}{z_{i}^{k}}\vert<\xi
%\end{equation}


%\begin{figure}[htbp]
%\centering
 % \includegraphics[angle=-90,width=0.5\textwidth]{EA-Algorithm}
%\caption{The Ehrlich-Aberth algorithm on single GPU}
%\label{fig:03}
%\end{figure}

%the Ehrlich-Aberth method is an iterative  method, contain 4 steps, start from the initial approximations of all the roots of the polynomial,the second step initialize the solution vector $Z$ using the Guggenheimer method to assure the distinction of the initial vector roots, than in step 3 we apply the the iterative function based on the Newton's method and Weiestrass operator~\cite{,}, witch will make it possible to converge to the roots solution, provided that all the root are different.

The Ehrlich-Aberth method is a simultaneous method~\cite{Aberth73} using the following iteration
\begin{equation}
\label{Eq:EA1}
z^{k+1}_{i}=z_{i}^{k}-\frac{\frac{p(z_{i}^{k})}{p'(z_{i}^{k})}}
{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,\ldots,n
\end{equation}

This method contains 4 steps. The first step consists in the initializing the polynomial. The second step initializes the solution vector $Z$ using the Guggenheimer method~\cite{Gugg86} to ensure that initial roots are all distinct from each other. In step 3, the iterative function based on the Newton's method~\cite{newt70} and Weiestrass operator~\cite{Weierstrass03} is applied. In our case, the Ehrlich-Aberth is applied as in~(\ref{Eq:EA1}). Iterations of the Ehrlich-Aberth method will converge to the roots of the considered polynomial. In order to stop the iterative function, a stop condition is applied, this is the 4th step. This condition checks that all the root modules are lower than a fixed value $\epsilon$.

\begin{equation}
\label{eq:Aberth-Conv-Cond}
\forall i\in[1,n],~\vert\frac{z_i^k-z_i^{k-1}}{z_i^k}\vert<\epsilon
\end{equation}

\subsection{Improving Ehrlich-Aberth method}
With high degree polynomials, the Ehrlich-Aberth method suffers from floating point overflows due to the mantissa of floating points representations. This induces errors in the computation of $p(z)$ when $z$ is large.
 
%Experimentally, it is very difficult to solve polynomials with the Ehrlich-Aberth method and have roots which except the circle of unit, represented by the radius $r$ evaluated as: 

%\begin{equation}
%\label{R.EL}
%R = exp(log(DBL\_MAX)/(2*n) );
%\end{equation}



% where \verb=DBL_MAX= stands for the maximum representable \verb=double= value.
 
In order to solve this problem, we propose to modify the iterative
function by using the logarithm and the exponential of a complex and
we propose a new version of the Ehrlich-Aberth method.  This method
allows us to exceed the computation of the polynomials of degree
100,000 and to reach a degree up to more than 1,000,000. The reformulation of the iteration~(\ref{Eq:EA1}) of the Ehrlich-Aberth method with exponential and logarithm is defined as follows, for $i=1,\dots,n$:

\begin{equation}
\label{Log_H2}
z^{k+1}_i = z_i^k - \exp(\ln(p(z_i^k)) - \ln(p'(z^k_i)) - \ln(1-Q(z^k_i))),
\end{equation}

where:

\begin{equation}
\label{Log_H1}
Q(z^k_i) = \exp(\ln(p(z^k_i)) - \ln(p'(z^k_i)) + \ln(\sum_{i\neq j}^n\frac{1}{z^k_i-z^k_j})).
\end{equation}


%We propose to use the logarithm and the exponential of a complex in order to compute the power at a high exponent. 
Using the logarithm  and the exponential operators, we can replace any multiplications and divisions with additions and subtractions. Consequently, computations manipulate lower values in absolute values~\cite{Karimall98}. 

%This problem was discussed earlier in~\cite{Karimall98} for the Durand-Kerner method. The authors
%propose to use the logarithm and the exponential of a complex in order to compute the power at a high exponent. Using the logarithm  and the exponential operators, we can replace any multiplications and divisions with additions and subtractions. Consequently, computations manipulate lower absolute values and the roots for large polynomial degrees can be looked for successfully~\cite{Karimall98}.

\subsection{The Ehrlich-Aberth parallel implementation on CUDA}
%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. \LZK{Répétition! Le même texte est déjà écrit comme
  intro dans la section II. Sinon ici on parle seulement de
  l'implémentation cuda sans mpi et openmp! \RC{Je suis d'accord à
    revoir après, quand les 2 parties suivantes seront plus stables}}




Like any parallel code, a GPU parallel implementation first requires to determine the sequential code and the data-parallel operations of a algorithm. In fact, all the operations that are easy to execute in parallel must be made by the GPU to accelerate the execution, like the steps 3 and 4. On the other hand, all the sequential operations and the operations that have data dependencies between CUDA threads or recursive computations must be executed by only one CUDA thread or a CPU thread (the steps 1 and 2).\LZK{La méthode est déjà mal présentée, dans ce cas c'est encore plus difficile de comprendre que représentent ces différentes étapes!} Initially, we specify the organization of parallel threads by specifying the dimension of the grid \verb+Dimgrid+, the number of blocks per grid \verb+DimBlock+ and the number of threads per block.

The code is organized as kernels which are parts of code that are run on GPU devices. For step 3, there are two kernels, the first is named \textit{save} is used to save vector $Z^{K-1}$ and the second one is
named \textit{update} and is used to update the $Z^{K}$ vector. For
step 4, a kernel tests the convergence of the method. In order to
compute the function H, we have two possibilities: either to use the
Jacobi mode, or the Gauss-Seidel mode of iterating which uses the most
recent computed roots. It is well known that the Gauss-Seidel mode
converges more quickly. So, we use Gauss-Seidel iterations. To
parallelize the code, we create kernels and many functions to be
executed on the GPU for all the operations dealing with the
computation on complex numbers and the evaluation of the
polynomials. As said previously, we manage both functions of
evaluation: the normal method, based on the method of
Horner and the method based on the logarithm of the polynomial. All
these methods were rather long to implement, as the development of
corresponding kernels with CUDA is longer than on a CPU host. This
comes in particular from the fact that it is very difficult to debug
CUDA running threads like threads on a CPU host. In the following
paragraph Algorithm~\ref{alg1-cuda} shows the GPU parallel
implementation of Ehrlich-Aberth method.

\section{The EA algorithm on Multiple GPUs}
\label{sec4}
\subsection{an OpenMP-CUDA approach}
Our OpenMP-CUDA implementation of EA algorithm is based on the hybrid
OpenMP and CUDA programming model.  All the data are shared with
OpenMP amoung all the OpenMP threads. The shared data are the solution
vector $Z$, the polynomial to solve $P$, and the error vector $\Delta
z$. The number of OpenMP threads is equal to the number of GPUs, each
OpenMP thread binds to one GPU, and it controls a part of the shared
memory. More precisely each OpenMP thread will be responsible to
update its owns part of the vector Z. This part is call $Z_{loc}$ in
the following. Then all GPUs will have a grid of computation organized
according to the device performance and the size of data on which it
runs the computation kernels.

To compute one iteration of the EA method each GPU performs the
followings steps. First roots are shared with OpenMP and the
computation of the local size for each GPU is performed (lines 5-7 in
Algo\ref{alg2-cuda-openmp}). Each thread starts by copying all the
previous roots inside its GPU (line 9). Then each GPU will copy the
previous roots (line 10) and it will compute an iteration of the EA
method on its own roots (line 11).  For that all the other roots are
used. The convergence is checked on the new roots (line 12). At the end
of an iteration, the updated roots are copied from the GPU to the
CPU (line 14) by direcly updating its own roots in the shared memory
arrays containing all the roots.

%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).

%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:

%\label{fig:03}
%\end{figure}
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 $\lceil n/p \rceil$ 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 $\lceil n/p \rceil$ roots.

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.

\section{Experiments}
\label{sec5}
We study two categories of polynomials: sparse polynomials and full polynomials.\\
{\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:
\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})
\end{equation}\noindent
{\it A full polynomial} is, in contrast, a polynomial for which all the coefficients are not null. A full polynomial is defined by:
%%\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}_{i=0} a_{i}.x^{i}} 
\end{equation}

For our test, 4 cards GPU tesla Kepler K40 are used.  In order to
evaluate both the GPU and Multi-GPU approaches, we performed a set of
experiments on a single GPU and multiple GPUs using OpenMP or MPI with
the EA algorithm, for both sparse and full polynomials of different
sizes.  All experimental results obtained are perfomed with double
precision float data and the convergence threshold of the EA method is
set to $10^{-7}$.  The initialization values of the vector solution of
the methods are given by Guggenheimer method~\cite{Gugg86}.


\subsection{Evaluation of the CUDA-OpenMP approach}

Here we report some experiments witt full and sparse polynomials of
different degrees with multiple GPUs.
\subsubsection{Execution times of the EA method to solve sparse polynomials on multiple GPUs}
 
In this experiments we report the execution time of the EA algorithm, on single GPU and multi-GPUs with (2,3,4) GPUs, for different sparse polynomial degrees ranging from 100,000 to 1,400,000.

\label{fig:01}
\end{figure}

Figure~\ref{fig:01} shows that the CUDA-OpenMP approach scales well
with multiple GPUs. This version allows us to solve sparse polynomials
of very high degrees.

\subsubsection{Execution times of the EA method to solve full polynomials on multiple GPUs}

These experiments show the execution times 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.

\end{figure}

In Figure~\ref{fig:02}, we can observe that with full polynomials the EA version with
CUDA-OpenMP scales also well. Using 4 GPUs allows us to achieve a
quasi-linear speedup.

\caption{Execution times in seconds of the Ehrlich-Aberth method for
  full polynomials on  multiple GPUs with CUDA-MPI.}
\label{fig:04}
\end{figure}

In Figure~\ref{fig:04}, we can also observe that the CUDA-MPI approach
is also efficient to solve full polynimails on multiple GPUs.

\subsection{Comparison of  the CUDA-OpenMP and the CUDA-MPI approaches}

In the previuos section we saw that both approches are very effecient
to  reduce the execution times the  sparse and full polynomials. In
this section we try to compare these two approaches.

\subsubsection{Solving sparse polynomials}
In this experiment three sparse polynomials of size 200K, 800K and 1,4M are investigated.
\begin{figure}[htbp]
\centering
 \includegraphics[angle=-90,width=0.5\textwidth]{Sparse}
\caption{Execution times  to solvs sparse polynomials of three
  distinct sizes on multiple GPUs using MPI and OpenMP with the
  Ehrlich-Aberth method}
\label{fig:05}
\end{figure}
In Figure~\ref{fig:05} there is one curve for CUDA-MPI and another one
for CUDA-OpenMP. We can see that the results are quite similar between
OpenMP and MPI for the polynomials size of 200K. For the size of 800K,
the MPI version is a little bit slower than the OpenMP approach but for
the 1,4 millions size, there is a slight advantage for the MPI
version.

\subsubsection{Solving full polynomials}
\begin{figure}[htbp]
\centering
 \includegraphics[angle=-90,width=0.5\textwidth]{Full}
\caption{Execution time for solving full polynomials of three distinct sizes on multiple GPUs using MPI and OpenMP approaches using Ehrlich-Aberth}
\label{fig:06}
\end{figure}
In Figure~\ref{fig:06}, we can see that when it comes to full polynomials, both approaches are almost equivalent.

\subsubsection{Solving sparse and full polynomials of the same size with CUDA-MPI}

In this experiment we compare the execution time of the EA algorithm
according to the number of GPUs to solve sparse and full
polynomials on multiples GPUs using MPI. We chose three sparse and full
polynomials of size 200K, 800K and 1,4M.
\begin{figure}[htbp]
\centering
 \includegraphics[angle=-90,width=0.5\textwidth]{MPI}
\caption{Execution times to solve sparse and full polynomials of three distinct sizes on multiple GPUs using MPI.}
\label{fig:07}
\end{figure}
In Figure~\ref{fig:07} we can see that CUDA-MPI can solve sparse and
full polynomials of high degrees, the execution times with sparse
polynomial are very low compared to full polynomials. With sparse
polynomials the number of monomials is reduced, consequently the number
of operations is reduced and the execution time decreases.

\subsubsection{Solving sparse and full polynomials of the same size with CUDA-OpenMP}

\begin{figure}[htbp]
\centering
 \includegraphics[angle=-90,width=0.5\textwidth]{OMP}
\caption{Execution time for solving sparse and full polynomials of three distinct sizes on multiple GPUs using OpenMP}
\label{fig:08}
\end{figure}

Figure ~\ref{fig:08} shows the impact of sparsity on the effectiveness of the CUDA-OpenMP approach. We can see that the impact follows the same pattern, a difference in execution time in favor of the sparse polynomials. 

\subsection{Scalability of the EA method on multiple GPUs to solve very high degree polynomials}
These experiments report the execution times of the EA method for
sparse and full polynomials ranging from 1,000,000 to 5,000,000.
\begin{figure}[htbp]
\centering
 \includegraphics[angle=-90,width=0.5\textwidth]{big}
 \caption{Execution times in seconds of the Ehrlich-Aberth method for solving full polynomials of high degree on 4 GPUs for sizes ranging from 1M to 5M}
\label{fig:09}
\end{figure}
In Figure~\ref{fig:09} we can see that both approaches are scalable
and can solve very high degree polynomials. In addition, with full polynomial as well as sparse ones, both
approaches give very similar results.

%SIDER JE viens de virer \c ca For sparse polynomials here are a noticeable difference in favour of MPI when the degree is
%above 4 millions. Between 1  and 3 millions, OpenMP is more effecient.
%Under 1 million, OpenMPI and MPI are almost equivalent.

\section{Conclusion}
\label{sec6}
In this paper, we have presented a parallel implementation of
Ehrlich-Aberth algorithm to solve 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.  Experiments show that, using
parallel programming model like (OpenMP, MPI). We can efficiently
manage multiple graphics cards to solve the same
problem and accelerate the parallel execution with 4 GPUs and solve a
polynomial of degree up to 5,000,000, four times faster than on single
GPU. 


%In future, we will evaluate our parallel implementation of Ehrlich-Aberth algorithm on other parallel programming model 

Our next objective is to extend the model presented here with clusters
of GPU nodes, with a three-level scheme: inter-node communication via
MPI processes (distributed memory), management of multi-GPU node by
OpenMP threads (shared memory).

%present a communication approach between multiple GPUs. The comparison between MPI and OpenMP as GPUs controllers shows that these
%solutions can effectively manage multiple graphics cards to work together
%to solve the same problem


 %than we have presented two communication approach between multiple GPUs.(CUDA-OpenMP) approach and (CUDA-MPI) approach, in the objective to manage multiple graphics cards to work together and solve the same problem. in the objective to manage multiple graphics cards to work together and solve the same problem.
