On the Parallel Computation of Boolean Gr¨obner Bases Shutaro Inoue & Yosuke Sato A commutative ring with an identity such that every element of which is idempotent is called a boolean ring. For a boolean ring B, a quotient ring B[X1 , . . . , Xn ]/〈X12 − X1 , . . . , Xn2 − Xn 〉 also becomes a boolean ring. It is called a boolean polynomial ring. A Gr¨ obner basis in a boolean polynomial ring (called a boolean Gr¨ obner basis) is first introduced in [2] and further properties are studied in [3] and [5]. A naive approach for the parallel computation of boolean Gr¨obner bases is also discussed in [4]. In the talk, we introduce a more sophisticated parallel algorithm for the computation of boolean Gr¨ obner bases, which is based on the results of [5]. We show our algorithm is satisfactorily efficient using benchmark data of our computation experiments obtained by our parallel implementation of the algorithm on the computer algebra system Risa/Asir([1]) with the parallel computation environment OpenXM([6]).
