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.
+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 :

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.

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

-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~\cite{Gugg86} 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~\cite{newt70} and Weiestrass operator~\cite{Weierstrass03}, wich will make it possible to converge to the roots solution, provided that all the root are different.

- 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 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<\xi

\subsection{Improving Ehrlich-Aberth method}
-With high degree polynomial, the Ehrlich-Aberth method suffer from overflow because the limited number in the mantissa of floating points representations, which makes the computation of $p(z)$ wrong when z is large.
+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 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) );

- where \verb=DBL_MAX= stands for the maximum representable \verb=double= value.

-In order to hold into account the limit of size of floats, we propose to modifying the iterative function and compute the logarithm of:
-\begin{equation}
-EA: z^{k+1}_{i}=z_{i}^{k}-\frac{\frac{p(z_{i}^{k})}{p'(z_{i}^{k})}}

-\end{equation}
-This method allows, indeed, to exceed the computation of the polynomials of degree 100,000 and to reach a degree upper to 1,000,000. For that purpose, it is necessary to use the logarithm and the exponential of a complex. The iterative function of Ehrlich-Aberth method with exponential and logarithm is given as following:
+
+% 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 \left(\ln \left(
-p(z_{i}^{k})\right)-\ln\left(p'(z^{k}_{i})\right)- \ln\left(1-Q(z^{k}_{i})\right)\right),
+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\left( \ln (p(z^{k}_{i}))-\ln(p'(z^{k}_{i}))+\ln \left(
-\sum_{i\neq j}^{n}\frac{1}{z^{k}_{i}-z^{k}_{j}}\right)\right)i=1,...,n,
+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 absolute values and the roots for large polynomial degrees can be looked for successfully~\cite{Karimall98}.

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 EA algorithm on Multiple GPUs}
\label{sec4}
-\subsection{M-GPU : an OpenMP-CUDA approach}
-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. The following schema shows the architecture of (CUDA,OpenMP).
+\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).

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.

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.

-This figure~\ref{fig:01} shows that the (CUDA-OpenMP) M-GPU approach reduces the execution time by a factor up to 100 w.r.t the single GPU approach 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.

-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 execution time for a single GPU, and multiple GPUs (2, 3, 4) on respectively 2, 3 and four MPI nodes. 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.
+\subsection{Comparison of the CUDA-OpenMP and the CUDA-MPI approaches}
-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.

\section{Conclusion}
\label{sec6}
-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.
-The experiments show that, using parallel programming model like (OpenMP, MPI), we can efficiently manage multiple graphics cards to work together to solve the same problem and accelerate the parallel execution with 4 GPUs and solve a polynomial of degree 1,000,000, four times faster than on single GPU, that is a quasi-linear speedup.
