A parallel algorithm is developed for the first time based on Frame's method to compute the characteristic polynomials of chemical graphs. This algorithm can handle all types of graphs: ordinary, weighted, directed, and signed. Our algorithm takes only linear time in the CRCW PRAM model with O ( n 3 ) processors whereas the sequential algorithm takes O ( n 4 ) time. Especially when the number of vertices of the graph is large this method will be more efficient than the recently developed vectorized Frame and Givens–Householder methods.
