Abstract

We present a parallel algorithm for multiple-precision division by a single-precision integer. This short division includes a first-order recurrence. Although the first-order recurrence cannot be parallelized easily, we can apply the parallel cyclic reduction method. The experimental results of multiple-precision parallel division by a single-precision integer on a 32-node Intel Xeon 3 GHz PC cluster are reported.
