-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 to find roots of polynomials of degree up-to 1.4 billion.

%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},
+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_0 a_n\neq 0.

%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{} and Ehrlich-Aberth method~\cite{}.

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.

-\subsection{The EA method}
+\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
%Here we give a second form of the iterative function used by the Ehrlich-Aberth method:
%\begin{equation}
-%\label{Eq:EA1}
+%\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}
%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:Aberth-Conv-Cond}
+%\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}

-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{,}, wich 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}
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}
- At the end of each application of the iterative function, a stop condition is verified consists in stopping the iterative process when the whole of the modules of the roots are lower than a fixed value $\xi$
+This methods contains 4 steps. The first step consists of the initial
+approximations of all the roots of the polynomial. The second step
+initializes the solution vector $Z$ using the Guggenheimer
+method~\cite{Gugg86} to ensure the distinction of the initial vector
+roots. In step 3, the iterative function based on the Newton's
+method~\cite{newt70} and Weiestrass operator~\cite{Weierstrass03} is
+applied. With this step the computation of roots will converge,
+provided that all roots are different.
+
+
+In order to stop the iterative function, a stop condition is
+applied. This condition checks that all the root modules are lower
+than a fixed value $\xi$.
\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<\xi
\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:
-\subsection{EA 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.

+%\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. This new
+version of the Ehrlich-Aberth method with exponential and logarithm is
+defined as follows:
-Like any parallel code, a GPU parallel implementation first

-parallelizable parts of the sequential version of the
-program/algorithm. In our case, all the operations that are easy
-to execute in parallel must be made by the GPU to accelerate
-the execution of the application, like the step 3 and step 4. On the other hand, all the
-sequential operations and the operations that have data
-dependencies between threads or recursive computations must
-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.

+p(z_{i}^{k})\right)-\ln\left(p'(z^{k}_{i})\right)- \ln\left(1-Q(z^{k}_{i})\right)\right),

-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 used the Gauss-Seidel mode of iteration. To

+\sum_{i\neq j}^{n}\frac{1}{z^{k}_{i}-z^{k}_{j}}\right)\right) \nonumber \\
+i=1,...,n
+\end{eqnarray}
+
+
+%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 absolute values~\cite{Karimall98}.

Our OpenMP-CUDA implementation of EA algorithm is based on the hybrid OpenMP and CUDA programming model. It works as follows.
-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.

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.

-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.
+Figure~\ref{fig:02} shows execution time of EA algorithm, for a single GPU, and multiple GPUs (2, 3, 4) on respectively 2, 3 and four MPI nodes. We can clearly see that the curve for a single GPU is above the other curves, which shows overtime in execution time compared to the Multi-GPU approach. We can see also that the CUDA-MPI approach reduces the execution time by a factor of 10 for polynomials of degree more than 1,000,000. For example, at degree 1,000,000, the execution time with a single GPU amounted to 10 thousand seconds, while with 4 GPUs, it is lowered to about just one thousand seconds which makes it for a tenfold speedup.

-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.

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 for a single GPU is well above the other curves.
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.

+In the previuos section we saw that both approches are very effective in reducing execution time for sparse as well as full polynomials. At this stage, the interesting question is which approach is better. In the fellowing, we present appropriate experiments comparing the two Multi-GPU approaches to answer the question.

+In Figure~\ref{fig:05} there two curves for each polynomial size : one for the MPI-CUDA and another for the OpenMP. We can see that the results are similar between OpenMP and MPI for the polynomials size of 200K. For the size of 800K, the MPI version is a little slower than the OpenMP approach but for the 1,4 millions size, there is a slight advantage for the MPI version.
