Amdahl’s law remains unbeaten
- LilBytes 2mo agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amdahl's_law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amdahl's_law For anyone who hadn't heard this before, like me. <3 In computer architecture, Amdahl's law (or Amdahl's argument[1]) is a formula limiting the speedup of a task as resources are added to the system executing that task. The law can be stated as[disputed – discuss]: the overall performance improvement gained by optimizing a single part of a system is limited by the fraction of time that the improved part is actually used.[2] It is named after computer scientist Gene Amdahl, and was presented at the American Federation of Information Processing Societies (AFIPS) Spring Joint Computer Conference in 1967. Amdahl's law is often used in parallel computing to predict the theoretical speedup when using multiple processors.
