Parallel Algorithms to Evaluate Orthogonal Polynomial Series

In this paper four parallel algorithms for the evaluation of finite series of orthogonal polynomials are introduced. The algorithms are based on the Forsythe and Clenshaw sequential algorithms. Several tests carried out on a Cray T3D are presented.
