Amdahl’s Law
- Formula: S = (1 / ((1 – f) + (f / Senhanced))), where f is the fraction, S is the system speedup, and Senhanced is the enhanced speedup factor.
- Perfect parallelism is limited by serial components.
- Small sequential portions dominate performance for large N.
- Example: For f = 0.9 and Senhanced = 10, S = 5.26.
Response Time
- Definition: Time elapsed from the start to completion of a task.
- Includes:
- Disk access, memory latency, I/O, and OS overhead.
- Formula: Tresponse = Tservice + Tqueuing
