+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.

+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{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.
