Abstract

PAC is a computer algebra system, based on MIMD type parallelism. It uses parallelism as a tool for processing problems wich are too complex for a sequential treatment. Basic fundamentals of the system are firstly discussed. Then, different problems are studied, particularly the implementation of infinite-precision arithmetic, the solution of linear systems and of Diophantine equations, the parallelization of Buchberger's algorithm for Gröbner bases.A prototype of PAC is implemented on the Floating Point System hypercube Tesseract 20 (16 nodes), and different timing results obtained on this machine are given.
