Abstract	We report on the development of PARSAC-2, a library of parallel algebraic algorithms designed specifically for networks of multiprocessor workstations. PARSAC-2 is built upon the S-threads system environment for multi-threaded symbolic computation. S-threads provides virtual parallelism by mapping thousands of very light-weight processes onto the processors of a workstation. It is currently being extended with network functionality, so that heavy-weight processes can be mapped across the network while preserving the S-threads interface. The current goal of algorithm development in PARSAC is the construction of a parallel polynomial equation solver using Groebner-Bases. We report on the design of a strategycompliant parallel Groebner-Basis computation with factorization.
