A Parallel Algorithm to Evaluate Chebyshev Series on a Message Passing Environment

Roberto Barrio, Javier Sabadell · SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing · 1998

A simple parallel algorithm for the evaluation of polynomials written in the Chebyshev form is introduced. By this method only 2[log 2 (p-2)] + [log 2 p + 4 N/p] - 7 steps on p processors are needed to evaluate a Chebyshev series of degree N. Theoretical analysis of the efficiency is performed and some numerical examples on a CRAY T3D are shown.
