Abstract

Gr\"obner basis computation over multivariate polynomial rings remains one of the most powerful yet computationally hostile primitives in symbolic computation. While modern algorithms (Faug\`ere-type F4 and signature-based F5) reduce many instances to large sparse linear algebra over finite fields, their dominant cost is not merely elimination but the symbolic preprocessing that constructs Macaulay-style matrices whose rows encode shifted reducers. This phase is characterized by dynamic combinatorics (monomial discovery, sparse row assembly, and deduplication) and is typically memory-latency bound, resisting naive parallelization. This article develops a rigorous synthesis that reframes S-polynomial reduction as syzygy discovery: row construction is a structured map from module relations to the kernel of a massive, sparse, highly non-random Macaulay matrix A over Fp. Building on this viewpoint, we propose a GPU-targeted architecture that (i) converts dynamic symbolic data structures into static, two-pass allocations via prefix-sum planning; (ii) enforces coalesced memory access through structure-of-arrays polynomial layouts and sorted monomial dictionaries; and (iii) integrates finite-field arithmetic kernels (Montgomery/Barrett-style reduction) at register granularity. On the linear-algebra side, we explore the transition from classical Gaussian elimination to parallel structured Gaussian elimination (PSGE) and to Krylov-type kernel solvers (Block Wiedemann/Lanczos) that better match GPU throughput while controlling fill-in. The result is a principled bridge between algebraic syzygy theory and SIMT hardware constraints, isolating the true bottleneck and providing a pathway to massively parallel reductions for multivariate polynomial systems.
