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.
