 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.
 
 In this paper we propose the parallelization of Ehrlich-Aberth method which has a good convergence and it is suitable to be implemented in parallel computers.

 The paper is organized as follows. In Section~\ref{sec2} we present three different parallel programming models OpenMP, MPI and CUDA. In Section~\ref{sec3} we present the implementation of the Ehrlich-Aberth algorithm on a single GPU. In Section~\ref{sec4} we present the parallel implementations of the Ehrlich-Aberth algorithm on multiple GPUs using the OpenMP and MPI approaches. In section~\ref{sec5} we present our experiments and discuss them. Finally, Section~\ref{sec6} concludes this paper and gives some hints for future research directions in this topic.

 \subsection{The Ehrlich-Aberth parallel implementation on CUDA}
 
-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

-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.

+The code is organized as kernels which are parts of code that are run

+than a threshold, the following operations are performed. The previous
+roots are saved using a kernel (line 5). Then the new root with the
+new iterations are computed using the EA method with a Gauss Seidel
+iteration modes in order to use the lastest roots updated (line
+6). This improves the convergence. This kernel is, in pratice, very
+long since it performs all the operations with complex numbers with

 \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.
