Abstract: The present paper analyses and presents several improvements to the algorithm for finding the $(a,b)$-pairs of integers used in the $k$-ary reduction of the right-shift $k$-ary integer GCD algorithm. While the worst-case complexity of Weber's "Accelerated integer GCD algorithm" is $cOl(lo{g}_{p}hi(k{)}^2)$, we show that the worst-case number of iterations of the while loop is exactly $frac12llfloorlo{g}_{phi}(k)floor$, where $phi:=frac12l(1+sqrt5)$.par We suggest improvements on the average complexity of the latter algorithm and also present two new faster residual algorithms: the sequential and the parallel one. A lower bound on the probability of avoiding the while loop in our parallel residual algorithm is also given.
