+Finding roots of polynomials is a well-known important but not so very easy problem to solve especially for high degrees.
+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.

-Our parallel implementation of the Ehrlich-Aberth method to find root of polynomials using a CUDA-MPI approach, 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.

-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 sub-polynomial 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. Then each MPI process  computes only its own portion of the roots indicated with variable \textit{index} initialized in (line 5, Algorithm \ref{alg2-cuda-mpi}), used as an input variable in the $kernel\_update$ (line 10, Algorithm \ref{alg2-cuda-mpi}). After each iteration, MPI processes synchronize using \verb=MPI_Allreduce= function, in order to compute the maximum error related to the stop condition; the reduction on $\Delta z_{k}$ by each MPI process on (line, Algorithm\ref{alg2-cuda-mpi}), and  copy the values of new computed roots  from GPU memories to CPU memories, then communicate their results to other processes,using \verb=MPI_Alltoall=.
