    Study Notes

    Amdahl’s Law and Computer Architecture

    • Amdahl’s Law states that the speedup is bounded by 1 / (1 - f), where f is the parallel component.
    • This law indicates that there is a limit to the speedup that can be achieved by adding more processors.

    Computer Architecture

    • Organization refers to the way in which components relate to each other.

    Computer Functions

    • The following are considered computer functions: Input, Output, Processing, Storage.

    Benchmark Score Improvement

    • The maximum factor of improvement that can be achieved in the benchmark score (geometric mean) by adding more processors to a machine is bounded by Amdahl’s Law.
