Concept explainers
a.
Amdahl’s Law:
Amdahl’s law state that the overall speedup of a computer system depends on both the speedup involved in the particular component and also the overall component a system tends to use. It is mainly used in parallel processing in order to find the speedup utilized by multiple processors.
Amdahl’s law can be formulated as:
Where,
S = overall system speedup
f= fraction of work performed by faster component
k= speedup of CPU
