Abstract

If an unlimited number of processors is available, then for any given number of steps s, s=1, polynomials of degree as large as C2n-dcan be evaluated, where C= v2 and d ˜ v2s. This implies polynomials of degree can be evaluated in log2n+v2log2n +0(1) steps. Various techniques for the evaluation of polynomials in a "reasonable number" of "steps" are compared with th
